Sweet Sunshine

When you wake up in the morning, drowsy from a deep sleep, sweet sunshine pours through your window.  Each morning every person has to make that one very hard decision.  The decision to get out of bed. But before you emerge from the deep warm covers, you think of what the day holds in store.  What you don't know is that today, anything could happen.  It may seem that you have everything under control. Some plan their day in such detail that they not a single hour goes unoccupied. But in reality, today could be your last.

You heave a sigh beneath your sanctuary of blankets and gather enough effort to face the day.  This morning I read form Romans 8.  "For we know that the whole creation has been groaning  together in the pains of childbirth until now.  And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.  For in this hope we were saved.  Now hope that is seen is not  hope.  For who hopes for what he sees?"  

That drowsy feeling of wishing to sleep for now and eternity is merely our bodies saying how long Lord.  But each day is a new start to something exciting and wonderful.  Each day is an opportunity to bring glory to a God so wonderful that he shares his glory and power with us.  So take in the sweet sunshine and enjoy the day.  But be ever conscious that we are here on this earth but a short time. We are merely visitors.
