I walked out on my porch this morning to the wonderful sight of the sun rising over the mountains. I smiled as its golden beams 1 the clear,blue sky. My light jacket was unbuttoned,and the morning breeze felt warm and comforting. The trees were still bare of any buds, 2 I could feel a sense ofthe coming 3 on this winter day. I breathed in the fresh air and thanked God for this glorious day to be alive.
I thought the only one thing 4 that would make this a perfect moment: a little morning 5 .

They were calling on spring to hurry along and life to 9 this world once more. I stood still and just listened. I could feel my own soul 10 to Heaven’s joy and my own heart filling with God’s love. It 11 was a perfect moment.

It is then that we need to awaken our 17 spring and share its life and warmth with the world.
I hope that you always 18 the time to hear the birds singing in the trees and the bird singing in your soul. I hope that you fill your days with songs of joy, 19 of love,and thoughts of God. I hope that you 20 every day of your life here with a little morning music and carry its heavenly melody in your heart all day long.
