Brighten Your Day

If you have never taken the time to watch the sun come up in the morning then you really

should do so. It is so good for the soul. You need to go out early when the night sky is still dark

and full of stars. Then find yourself a comfortable place to stand or sit and take it all in.

The black sky will slowly begin to transform into a dark blue while the dimmer stars and then

the brighter ones fade from view. Then as the air warms the blue will begin to lighten and red,

pink, and purple clouds will magically appear. It will look like God is finger painting them

Himself as they float across the sky. And just as you finish welcoming this beauty into your heart

the sky will change again. The blue will turn to orange and then yellow and you will find

yourself transfixed as the sun slowly climbs over the horizon and showers the world with its

light. Next the birds will begin to awaken in their nests. Some will sing with joy and others will

take to the sky, flying through the heavens and taking your spirit along for the ride. And as you

watch them the morning breeze will kiss your face while it makes the leaves dance and the trees

wave. Few people can watch something this miraculous without feeling blessed with peace and

without feeling loved by our Heavenly Father.

Take the time to watch the sun come up every chance you can then. Keep it shining in your

soul too all the day through. Be a sunrise unto yourself as well. Send your light when you pray,

laugh, and sing. Spread your light when you stretch out your fingers to offer a helping hand to

another. Scatter your light when you offer your smile, your kindness, and your compassion to

others. Shine your light when you connect to the glorious energy of love and share it with the

world. Do the good you were meant to do. Be the person God meant for you to be. Live the life

you were meant to live. Be a giver of God’s light in this world and in the next.
