“Have a god start to your day.”
Oops. That wasn’t what I meant to say, but it was too late. No taking back the words once you hit “send.”
My thumbs are fatter than the virtual keys on my smartphone. That’s why the text I sent my friend had a typo that changed the message.
I meant to say “Have a good start to your day.” But as I watched the message box turn blue to the accompanying musical “swoop,” I realized the words winging away were better than my original intention.
Isn’t that just like God? What He has in mind is better than anything I come up with.
So here’s wishing you a God start to your day.
Take a moment. Begin with Him.
He’ll change your perspective.
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life.
Psalm 143:8
Leaving the boys to their chores, Grace gathered Harley and rode up to what she’d always considered her brother’s ridge. Cale used to ride off by himself, unaware that his little sister followed from a distance, curious about why he did such a thing.
These days, she understood. The solitude offered a different perspective on not only the ranch, but life in general.
Cedar branches brushed against her chaps, their berries giving off a pungent perfume. Birds skittered—robins and sparrows. A hawk screeched overhead, and from a distance she heard the faint song of a meadowlark.
As she approached the lip of the ridge, Harley’s ears cocked forward. He’d never been up on the Hutton heights where a person felt small and insignificant against the legendary Rockies. Ridge after ridge rolled off to the west, but below spread quilted pastures and grazing land, seamed by tree-lined creeks and streams.
Maybe it was age that pushed a person to this ridge, in search of childhood freedom.
It took her breath away—the bird’s-eye view that lifted her from care and responsibility. Made her unreachable and immune to worry, fear, and heartache. Alone, yet not—as if seated at the foot of a loving Creator she could … trust. ~Covering Grace
