Did anyone notice the beautiful sunshine this morning? It is March 2 and with it came magnificent blue sky and bright sunshine. I was travelling down the highway, radio tuned into praise songs, mind full of many different thoughts, when all of a sudden I clued into this phenomenon; sunshine! "Wow God...what a beautiful morning!" Clicking the radio off, I began just thanking Him for the gift of sunshine. Sometimes we forget how much 'sunshine' lifts our spirits. From there my conversation went to thanking God for different people that have been placed in my life, asking Him to meet their needs this day. "Bless them with sunshine in their lives today Lord." As the concerns of my day started to envelop my mind, I was reminded of various promises from God's word. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path".
My 25 minute journey, with the beautiful sunshine pouring in through the windshield, was a wonderful opportunity to just 'chat with God'. An opportunity to praise Him for the gift of a sunny day; give thanks for my wonderful friends & family; lay my anxieties at His feet; listen to God himself, reminding me of promises from His word.
Try just chatting with God.....let the Son shine in!

This has happened to me a few times in the last two weeks. As I walk the children to school, I pause and take in the sun's warm and brilliance. I just start praising him on the way home. Sometimes I stop and stand still and just listen. What a great time with the Lord. Even in our busy lives, we can stop and be in his presence. Once a year ago or so, God showed me how the sun is like his son. It may get cloudy outside and grey. But He reminded me that the sun has not gone away. It is still there in the same place in the sky. We just have to get our head above the clouds and then we will see the sun. Isn't that the same with our relationship with Christ. If we fix our eyes on Him, concentrate on Him, search for Him....and not get lost in our own problems or life, we will always have that warmth and peace that only come from Him.
