Good morning…

“I enjoy reading your blog posts every morning,” she said. “I rarely write you back, but I am grateful for your gift each day.” Then came the question I often hear: “I’m worried about you, do you ever sleep?”

One Midnight Rendezvous by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

when the silence
waits for me to meet it,
how can I sleep?

when the Silence
waits for me to meet it,
how can I sleep?

The Lord’s unfailing love and mercy still continue, fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise (Lamentations 3:22-23, GNT).
