Morning Has Broken

As darkness blanketed my little camper perched by the water's edge, I battened down the hatches to prepare for the coming storms.

You know, camping is not just flat tires and snakes, flashing lightening, and windy rain.

It is also the chance to leave all that I know and that comforts me behind.

Camping for me is time spent away from my daily concerns, time to savor the beauty of our natural world, and the chance to ponder the things of God.

It is bald eagles 🦅 flying overhead, gray herons fishing for meals, fluffy white clouds blowing across an ever changing sky, and a time to relax and savor it all.

I suppose if I didn't recount my brushes with adversity and fear then I might have more companions to join me here.

However, doing the things that scare me a bit can be the impetus to help me grow in trust.

Trust that everything will work out okay. And most of all faith that God is really with me and I am not alone.




(Morning comes after the driving rain.)
