A Fresh Start

I awake refreshed and greet the day with enthusiasm. As I grasp a warm mug of coffee and wonder what the day will hold I look out over God's creation. The sunlight has begun to melt away the night. Dew drops are falling from the veranda as the white veil is burned away to reveal majestic mountains. The gentle hum of the fan blowing across the living room lulls my friends in a peaceful slumber. The children are pretending to sleep until they can no longer stand to lay in their beds. The steady snores of my husband have begun to deepen with each rise and fall of his chest. As much as I long for the comfort of returning to what was, I know this is becoming a home.
