God’s in His Heaven
So often as the morning begins, as the beauty of the many colors of a cloud-filled sky join the emerging light of the day, I think of this phrase from Robert Browning’s poem Pippa Passes “God’s in his Heaven – All’s right with the world.”
The peace and the confidence and joy that using these words as an affirmation brings, sets the day with a perspective and attitude of anticipation. It also brings forth the gratitude for the little blessings of life.
Each day gives us a new promise, a new opportunity to enjoy the many blessings that surround us, down to the snails on the thorn. If we only look around us with awareness of the many simple gifts that life presents we can find so much to celebrate and enjoy.
Pippa Passes
The year’s at the spring
And day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hill-side’s dew-pearled
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in his Heaven –
All’s right with the world!
Robert Browning (1812-1889)
Ponder on this!
