When Morning Gilds the Sky (Thursday, Dec. 2)

I had to get up early Thursday morning, and the glow of the sunrise caught my eye.  I stepped out on the front porch into the freezing air to try to catch the colors.  Beneath the lightening sky, the frozen ground lay pale with only a security light down the road to challenge the sun's brightening glow.

I thought that was the sunrise until I glanced out a few moments later to find the sky ablaze.  This photo doesn't do it justice, but it was the closest I could make my camera come to the glorious reality.

Thank you, Lord, Your mercies are truly new every morning!
