A Pause

I woke early this morning. This is something I do not do very often (It was before five in the morning). I put on some clothes, put some left-over pizza in the oven to heat up, and went outside to start the car to let it warm up.

It was so serenely beautiful outside at five in the morning. It was dark- but not pitch black, because of all the snow. It was warm (for the area, anyways). There was a light dusting of snow all around and in the air- and it was quiet. A peaceful, beautiful, wonder-inspiring stillness that shakes the soul. I looked over to see the mountains that were hiding in the clouds like ghosts so very far away. I couldn't see them, but I knew they were there and I smiled.

I just had to sing a quiet song to Jesus.
