Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

 Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, praise for them springing fresh from the word. TIS 156.

It is said that anything worth thinking about is worth singing about and Mary Oliver adds ' which is why we have songs of praise, songs of love and songs of sorrow.'  I can relate to this thinking  so much as I often have a song in my heart and on my lips and even as I   go to sleep at night there is something in me that still listens  for the joy of the beautiful warbling sound of the magpie  in the morning, the first creation to sing to God on a new day.

May there be songs in your heart and on your lips that bring you joy or peace or comfort and the assurance of the presence of God. 

May the Lord of life bless you and keep you today and always.   Anne, servant of the Lord.
