Thank You

Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord

Psalms 150:6a

Many people doubt the existence of God . Others believe in the existence of God as the creator. This is not the place for a great theological debate; but one thing I know for sure is that the daily orchestra of nature does not happen by chance.

Every morning I drive eastbound to get to work. More often than not the rush hour traffic snarls along the highway not because of an accident but because of the bright sunlight emanating from the morning sunrise. All the drivers are forced into a pause.

I am awestruck at the vast array of colors that extends across the sky. It is poetic, serene, majestic and totally untouched by human hands. I usually take this moment to reset my brain and give thanks for a new day. Each sunrise is a new beginning that does not happen by chance.

Utopia moment - Use the model of daily sunrise to reframe thought. Shed new light on situations that have been frozen in the dark of night. Remember that God's plan for us includes rest in the form of sleep and rejuvenation; culminating into a fresh new day.......every day!
