Episode Details

Several years ago, my friend, Margaret, sent me Luther’s Morning Prayer in music. It’s beautiful! Composer Carl Schalk wrote it. Participants in a Lutheran Summer Music program at Valparaiso sing it.

Previously, as I arose, I often just started with my morning tasks ... make the bed, brush teeth, get dressed, make the coffee. However, now I intentionally make time to listen, and even sing along, and chills often run through me.

What a way to begin a morning, inviting my Good Father to share the day with me, and reminding me whose I am ... his beloved, forgiven child!

It doesn’t get much better than that, now does it!
