Good Morning

I paused this morning to give thanks and praises to the most High, Jah.... King of Kings, Lord of Lords... and its not Selassi I Rastafari...its the God of Moses, Daniel, David and Solomon.

In a rare moment I greeted the morning at 5:30 a.m. and headed to the great outdoors. Birds introduced and welcomed my presence with song, the bows of the coconut tree swayed ever so slightly in the light morning breeze and I was blessed with an ash blue sky, peacefully washing the land with hope. Aaahhh, such beauty...and because I have delusions of grandeur, I believe it was all done for me...to show me the mighty power of a Creator in whom I should repose absolute trust.

I spent an hour basking in the glory of it all, and watched as the light rose over the hill tops. With a whisper of good morning to God I headed inside to sate my need for fried dumplings, and callaloo and saltfish.

I encourage you all to give thanks to the father today...there must be one thing that you can give thanks for. Have a blessed day.

Great post. Give thanks, I still need both hands to count my blessings.

I feel like I have a front row seat to "The Transformation of Emancipated" I might just join you on this journey of yours.

I need to try that early morning wake, because i can't tell the last time I get up that early! I want to do it though, not only because it's refreshing and inspiring, but to get some great photos too!
