Awake to wonder.
Rising early, walking the grounds. Miracles are all around me.
It is a miracle that the sun rose upon the valley; a miracle that the buds unfurled in the garden, a miracle that I am awake to see it all.
❖
A miracle is rightly met with surprise, gratitude. Let me find amazement, Lord, at all you have made so.

Consider:
Where am I surprised and grateful in the face of this morning’s miracles?
