Cotton Candy Skies Awaken My Tired Eyes.

12.23.2011

This morning I lay in bed cursing my demanding alarm clock. It was cold and dark outside and the warm sheets made it almost impossible to listen to that blaring noise that meant it was time to get ready for work.
I wasn't feeling well and driving to work in the dark was just about the last thing I wanted. 
I'm pretty sure I was scowling all the way down the 101, when I noticed it--One arm was glowing a gentle, golden orange. 
It was then that my eyes made their way to the passenger side window and my mouth dropped. 
The sun was making it's daily debut and the clouds benefited from his arrival--pink, orange, yellow, and purple, and then a smile. I quickly looked to the cars around me, hoping that everyone had at least caught a glance and the spectacle at our right, but as far as I could tell, they were all in the terrible trance that I was in only minutes earlier. A trance that broke so quickly once I opened my eyes to one of God's signs of love for us. My testimony is strongest when I am looking and really seeing His artwork. It is all around us, and it can make a bad day, good.

That looks just absolutely gorgeous. A little flip of the switch and we can see the good instead of the bad.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
