Sunshine/Sonshine

This sunshine is Heavenly. After a rainy, rather depressing day yesterday, the sunshine today is glorious. It's amazing what the sun can do- it brings joy, warmth, & a brightness that lifts your spirit. I tend to want to praise the Lord on these kind of days, tho yesterday, in the rain, I was determined to not allow the clouds & rain to dampen my spirits, I found it was hard to praise. And cloudy days at the Haft mean that my texts don't go through very well, so I feel REALLY isolated.  I imagine it was a cloudy, dismal day when Jesus hung on that cross, & imagine the isolation He felt when God turned His head away as Jesus took on the sins of the WHOLE world. But the story doesn't end at the grave- what glorious Sonshine 3 days later when He stepped out of that grave as RISEN Lord & Savior. And that "Son" brings joy, warmth, & brightness like no other. I challenge you this Easter as you bask in the sun, take a moment to reflect on the true "Son", & tell Him how thankful you are for what He has done for you.
