Angelic Wings
They rise every morning to usher in the new day with lifting praises in joy and song. I search for them, but they choose humble, hidden perches, allowing me to enjoy only the alert that wakes me--
"Arise! Do so now! Rise early to watch this day unfold before you--anew, and open to all you bring it. Yesterday has fallen long over the horizon. Leave it there, and embrace this day of renewal. Here--today is fresh with forgiveness!"
So, I offer them seeds of thanks at my window side, and they grace me with their whimsical energy, alighting to say, "You're welcome. Now go! Take on your new day!"
Wake up, O Sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
Ephesians 5:14b NIV
