SUNSHINE THROUGH THE TREE ~

There is beauty of a new day!

One of my favorite things to see, is the morning sun coming through a tree.  There is something about that moment that makes my heart happy.  I see the power of God in how the tree grew and how the sun comes out.  

2 Samuel 23:2-4  New International Version (NIV)
“The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me;
    his word was on my tongue.
3 The God of Israel spoke,
    the Rock of Israel said to me:
‘When one rules over people in righteousness,
    when he rules in the fear of God,
4 he is like the light of morning at sunrise
    on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain
    that brings grass from the earth.’

SUNSHINE ~ There are ways that God speaks to us. 

Have you ever had that moment when you just knew it was God?  It couldn't have been any other way, but God.  I can see the power of God in the sky of a new day.  Each day the sky is painted different and God is the only one who can design that.  His power is real and moving each day of life.  

How you view your today matters.  It might not be full of sunshine, but there is sunshine to be found in each day of our lives.  Sometimes it's the little things that go by and we miss the beauty in it.  Different people have shown me things I might have missed.  Like flowers growing, birds singing, running water inside my house, sun and it's warmth.  Even the rain, because it helps in so many ways.  Little things we might forget that are big things in our lives. Our needs are met and God continues daily to bless us. 

I was helping in my granddaughter's classroom and a lady said you are so lucky to be a grandmother.  I took her words and planted them deep down.  I am lucky and count blessings to help guide my grandchildren. I know that God puts us into lives for a purpose.  Our very own example can go a very long way.  

​Let read verse 4 above again:
4 he is like the light of morning at sunrise
    on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain
    that brings grass from the earth.’

God has our lives in his big plan of life.  Purpose today a good day and look around you today.  It is so easy to see the things we don't have or compare our lives to someone else. But we were never meant to be each other. You were created to be you and I was created to be me. It's time to see our lives fruitful and blessings surround us daily.  

My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.  Thank you sharing this daily blog with me. I do care about the readers of my blog and pray daily for you. It's a new day and let us learn to LIVE in it.  There is always hope in a new day and joy to be stirred up.  Happy new day!
