June 1 – Early Morning Arrival

June 1 — Early Morning Arrival

Morning arrives quietly at Canal Park as the Arthur M. Anderson makes its way into Duluth on a perfect June day. The colorful sunrise, calm waters, and the sounds of gulls and gentle waves make for an ideal start to the day.

There is something about the early morning here that brings light, sky, water, sound, and stillness together. When people ask why I keep coming back, I never quite know how to answer. I just do.

Like the draw of home, it is something you cannot fully explain, but you can feel it deep inside. Morning after morning, each sunrise is different, yet the peace is always the same. Perhaps the longing for our heavenly home is like that, too — something within us knows we are not quite there yet, but we will recognize it when we arrive.

“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.” — Psalm 143:8

True rest is found when we finally arrive home.
