Sunshine and Perspective

After some bitterly cold weather and a bit of snow we've had some gorgeous weather here this week ... about 60 degrees. It's a refreshing change to see the sun for a bit in the middle of winter, even if only for a couple of days.

This morning as Kabe & I were rushing out the door, heading to work/school, he pushed the button to open the garage door which let the sun in. He exclaimed excitedly, 'Mom look! It's a bright sunny day! It's so beautiful out! And look at the way the sun is shining through those clouds....it's like a road map right up to God!'

If you know Kabe at all, you know this is his general outlook on life....he's such a positive, thoughtful child. What struck me about his statement this morning, is that I don't take the time to slow down and notice or be thankful God's handiwork. Today, I took notice. Thanks to Kabe.

Matthew 18:2-4 (New Living Translation)

2 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. 3 Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
