Good Morning.

I just dropped my dad off at the airport. Guys, my dad is a really good dad. He has a way of resetting my attitude, inviting me into rest, and reminds me of the joy that can be experienced when you wake up before the sun. So this morning as I drove into work with a beautiful Arizona sunrise, my heart was open to a new day, and a song a good buddy of mine suggested came to mind.

And I want to share, so here is a beautiful song by Birdtalker “Heavy”.

My buddy knows I’m a sucker for whimsical group sing-a-longs. (And the xylophone…and the harmonies….and the bass line beat in the background.)  He knew this would be a winner for those elements alone.

But more importantly, I love the lyrics. It’s an invitation to rest, an invitation to be present, an invitation to find peace. And looking at this morning sky and breathing in this cool morning air – I feel like my heavenly father was singing to me “leave what’s heavy, what’s heavy behind.”
