Morning Glory

About a year ago I started taking early morning walks around my neighborhood to help with my chronic health issues. I would spend my walk venting to God my frustrations, and also take in the sights and sounds of the early morning while sipping from a jug of iced tea. I grew to love walking by a neighbor’s house who had a small batch of Morning Glory flowers growing on their fence. The flowers glowed with a translucent blue in the early morning and then turned deep purple later in the afternoon. During the morning, when I was usually in the most pain, these came as bright reminders of God’s goodness to me. Reminders that love will swallow all pain and sorrow. A promise that can be hard to believe, but is abundantly true.
