day one: sunrise

{day one of capture your grief this october over at Carly Marie Project Heal}

May God give you...

For every storm, a rainbow,

For every tear, a smile,

For every care, a promise, 

And a Blessing in each trial.

For every problem life sends,

A faithful friend to share,

For every sigh a sweet song,

And an answer for each prayer.   -Irish Prayer

I woke early.  It's October 3rd, but starting this photo challenge is important to me, so day one starts today.  Sunrise.  Dark clouds are passing.  Pretty quickly.  I can't help but acknowledge the meaning in these passing clouds.  Cheers to you, baby mck!

Everything Will Be OK

Fear not, my heart,
Even the darkest night must end at dawn!
Clouds and mist must come and go
But they cannot rob sun's radiant glow.
Look up, mine eyes, keep steady and watch
For never ye must lose your guiding star.
Hold fast! Hold fast!
Faith and courage are His tender blessings;
He will not hold these from thee when he sees thy yearning, struggling soul.
Rest will come when thy toil is done.
