Joy Comes in the Morning

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!


There’s something about a sunrise that speaks straight to my soul.
Maybe it’s the stillness before the world fully wakes up, or maybe it’s how the colors seem freshly brushed onto the sky by the hand of my Creator. Every morning, I feel this quiet whisper from God “I’m still here. I’m still painting beauty into your story.”

Healing has brought some hard evenings lately… the kind where the pain feels stronger, the emotions run deep, and tears come a little easier. Those nights can feel long and sometimes lonely.
But then morning comes, and with it, a reminder that His mercies really are new every morning.

Psalm 30:5 says,

“Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.”

And I’ve felt that deeply. Not because the pain magically disappears, but because His presence brings light into the darkness. When I see the sunrise, I feel close to Him, like He’s reminding me that no night lasts forever.  Each morning sky tells me He’s still working, still creating, still redeeming. Even when my healing feels slow or my emotions heavy, the sunrise feels like His personal promise that there is beauty still ahead.

When my kids were little, I used to wake them up singing:
 “Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory…” 
They’d groan or giggle depending on the day, but that little song always brought a smile to me. Now that they’re older and wake up on their own, I still sometimes find myself singing it. There’s something about the simplicity of those words that sets the tone for the day a gentle reminder to start with gratitude and praise.

Lamentations 3:22–23 says,

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Every shade of pink, orange, and gold in the morning sky feels like a brushstroke of hope declaring His faithfulness over my life.

Even on days when my body aches or my heart feels weary, I can still choose joy because He’s with me.
He hasn’t stopped being good.
He hasn’t stopped being faithful.
He hasn’t stopped painting sunrises just to remind us that light always wins.

Psalm 143:8 says,

“Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I entrust my life.”

So if you’ve been walking through a hard evening whether it’s emotional pain, physical healing, or something unseen hold on. The sunrise is coming. Joy is coming, and the same God who paints the morning sky is painting something beautiful in you.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes.
