Can I just say that I personally think one of the most brilliant things God ever did was create mornings? I mean seriously. We get to start over every single day.
I woke up this morning and not a single thing had changed about my circumstances and the things that had me so miserably frustrated last night, but somehow, knowing I had a whole new day to approach it energized me afresh. I got to lay there before I even opened my eyes and repent of all of yesterday's temper tantrums and commit afresh to walking graciously through whatever today brings. I got to wash my face and brush my teeth and pick out clean clothes and remind myself of all the things that do matter and repent of all the things that don't.
And, I was reminded of Psalm 17:15, As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.

So true, and why, after many years of trying to abide by the whole, "don't go to bed angry" rule with Loren by staying up all hours of the night arguing, we agreed that sometimes the most loving and hopeful thing we can do is agree to lovingly table our discussion til the morning. Most of the time, things look a whole lot better in the morning sunshine anticipating a whole day of being satisfied in Jesus ahead of us! :) Love you!
Love this and completely agree. Mornings are amazing and such a comfort.
