"Thus Will Shine The Dawn"


Morning Blossoms

I love mornings. The promise of a fresh start is a beautiful reminder that life goes on. A new day to grow, learn and do. Some days fall to pieces and nothing seems to go right. But then the dawn comes and we are given the chance to pick up the broken bits and move on. In the thick of WWII, Sir Winston Churchill, in an effort to fortify the hope of the Allies said this, "Good night, then: sleep to gather strength for the morning. For the morning will come. Brightly it will shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn." I think that what a sunrise truly means is never give up. Even when the storms of life are raging, don't lose heart. Just because you can't see the sun through the clouds doesn't mean it's not there.
