This morning as I was up early and driving into town to run some errands I realized why I love the mornings so much and why I am so thankful that I found the Lord in the morning of my life.

The temps outside are just perfect! The humidity is low and the skies are clear. Finding God as a child was just the same. The innocence of the day and the low turbulence of those days prepared me for the days of life that would later be hurled my way.

No one was at the post office this morning as I went to get Mom’s mail and all the parking spaces in front were empty. It was easy getting in and out of there so unlike later in the day when everyone decides to go. The same with God, I started early and had years of relationship building one on one with a Father that was and is there with me all along my way.

I drive down highway 111 to go and babysit my grandson and the construction crews were just beginning their day and the school back up traffic had not started yet. In my childhood of faith I had the time to build and nurture my way in life before all the hustle and bustle of the world crowded and pressed in on me. I have memories of happiness with God and writing letters to Him and just being thankful to be in His family.

The McDonald’s line was shorter than yesterday morning but still crowded. Yesterday I chose the slow line but today I choose a better lane. My teenage years were full of choices and I chose wrong more times than not but God gave me a hands up and said, ” Go on my child and remember your mistakes and choose better next time.”

And now I sit on my daughter’s front porch, waiting on laundry to wash and grandson to wake, I am so thankful that I found God in the morning of my life and want to share this little article with you to hope that you find God no matter what season of your life you are in.

Morning, Noon, or Night…. God says YES to them all! Just let Him come in today!
