We love the freshness of the young morning. The early morning speaks to our hearts of the love of the Creator God. The fresh dew on the grass in our small garden. Reminds us of the ever-freshness of God’s love and His unlimited blessings. The joyful and harmonic songs of His birds. As they merrily greet His early morning. The merriment of His birds as they playfully seek their breakfast. Recall to us. It is Almighty God. From all our provisions flow. It is Almighty God. Who keeps us company all through our day. It is Almighty God. His protective arm and shield keep us safe from harm.

We reflect the songs of these small creations of God. God the Creator is our only true and pure love. Almighty God is to be praised as He should be. In the early morning.
Almighty God makes known to us. The safety of His refuge and arms of love.
