Tuesday of the Fourth Week in Lent

Tears may linger at nightfall, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:6

I just love this verse. It is at night we feel most alone, most vulnerable, most in need of something to help us cope. The streets are empty and human activity returns to the privacy of the home. Strangers seem to hide behind the shadows and familiar areas seem like unchartered territory in the blackness of night. Darkness seems to paint broad strokes of gloom across the most hopeful parts of our world. But we are not alone -- even at night when it may seem so. We are never alone. God is with us wherever we go, whatever we do. Daylight illuminates the world just as knowledge of the Almighty does so. The hours of the night may tick away slowly, but morning will always come. The knowledge that morning will indeed come, offers us hope, gives us joy. When you awake, say a prayer of thanks. “ Welcome Happy Morning.”
