Wake up to dawn
Looking northwest (!) at 7 this 16 degree morning. And one of the psalms for today which I prayed while I was looking at this sky:
"Awake, my harp and lyre,
so I can wake up the dawn!
I will lift my voice in praise,
sing of you, Lord, to all nations.
For your love reaches heaven's edge,
your unfailing love, the skies.
O God, rise high above the heavens!
Spread your glory across the earth!
(Psalm 57:8-11 ICEL1995 translation)
Dawn is for me a good Advent image, as I try to grasp Jesus here but not yet here. Today's especially, where the not yet risen sun in the east is already coloring the northwestern sky. Light for those sitting in darkness.
