The first glimpse of sunshine and spring after months of a cold and snowy winter is one of the greatest feelings in the world. A feeling as if everything will be okay, that today will be a good day, and that nothing can bring me down takes over my thoughts and actions. I am overwhelmed with happiness, love, thankfulness, and excitement for the days ahead that the sunshine vows to provide. Today is one of those days and I feel an irrepressible realization of blessing and hope for the days ahead.
I am one of those people that immediately gets in a better mood when the sun starts to shine and the weather becomes warmer, even just for a day. The warmth of the sun on my skin and the smiles that it brings to the faces of those around me reminds me of how great God is and how richly he has blessed me. Having to squint your eyes because it is so bright outside may seem like an annoyance to some, but for me it is something I welcome with open arms. The presence of sunshine and warmer weather is something that I look forward to every year and every year with I am reminded of how great God is by something as simple as beams of light warming the earth and brightening the gloomy moods of winter. Today I am reminded that I am blessed beyond what I deserve. I have a family that loves and supports me, I have a wonderful boyfriend who loves me in spite of my flaws, I have friends who are constantly making me smile, and I have a God who continually grants me mercy, love, and a peace that I do not deserve. The sun's rays or not just beams of light, but they are also a reminder of the warm and comforting presence of God in our lives. I could not ask for more.
Thank you God for the sun and your Son!
