Waking before the sun in the mornings these days?<\/b> <\/p>\n

Is the world upside down pressing on you?<\/b> <\/p>\n

Are you seeking something, anything, in the world that might lift and brighten your day?<\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

Then, the next time you wake up before 5AM – I invite you to get up, open your window a little (turn off the fan or ac too) and return to bed; then lay quietly in the dark, in the silence, and offer a prayer. <\/p>\n

Very quietly in prayer, reflect upon the many blessings you’ve enjoyed through your life …<\/p>\n

All the while, keep listening: <\/p>\n

A beautiful, great, quiet – yet powerful, subtle – yet unmistakable, sound will<\/i> come<\/b> …<\/p>\n

As you pray, suddenly, something very sweet will break the silence. <\/p>\n

What was that?<\/i> There it is again <\/i><\/b>..<\/i>. still faint, yet much more distinct the second time<\/i> … and now by the third time … the sound is unmistakable – there it is again! <\/b>J<\/span><\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

Chirp. J<\/span> Chirp Chirp …<\/p>\n

Open your eyes, smile, thank your Heavenly Father, finish your prayer and say ‘good morning’ to those first early birds that invite the sunrise – every day <\/b>– even through the madness of 2020<\/i>…. <\/p>\n

 Keep smiling … and begin your day – the day God has blessed you to have – with a newly recognized gratitude in your heart<\/b>. Be daily mindful that God so loves you that He created it all – all of it<\/b> – that you may have this life! Even this day<\/b>; even the first songs of the mornings<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n

Those first "Chirps"? Those are just one reminder<\/b> in this upside down world; I hope you hear them all …<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

  [Chirp, Chirp Chirp!]<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

God, Loves You!<\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

I’m Just Sayin’ … .<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
