SUNLIGHT AND FLOWERS
Have you ever stopped to look at the flowers in
the morning? It always amazes me to see how closed
up and protected they are. Their petals are folded
in and their heads are drooped from the cold and
darkness of the night before. As the sun begins to
rise, however, you start to notice a change in them.
Slowly their heads begin to lift as they respond to
the warming rays. Then their petals begin to unfold
and grow towards the light. It is a beautiful thing
to behold. It is so glorious to watch the warmth and
light of the sun bring new life and beauty to the
flowers of the Earth.
Many people are like these flowers. They may seem
cold and closed off. Their heads may be bowed in
despair against the dark things in life. With only
a little warmth and a little light, however, they
begin to come alive once again. This warmth can be
a simple smile, a kind word, or a gentle touch.
This light can be a joy filled laugh, a sweet letter,
or just hearing how much they are loved. Just these
few, small things can bring life, beauty, and
happiness back into the hearts of these people.
Just these few, small things can make them flowers
blooming with love and delight once again.
All of us should strive then to be the sunshine in
each other’s lives. If we truly want those around us
to blossom in love and grow in joy then we have to
give them our light and our warmth.
God gives His light, love, warmth, and joy free of
charge. It is only right then for us to choose it,
welcome it into our hearts, grow in it daily and then
share it with the whole world. By passing on God’s
love and light and by sharing our own warmth and joy
we can touch and help the lives of countless others.
By being a ray of sunshine to the world around us we
can help it grow into a flower garden of delight and
a greenhouse of love and joy.

"TO GOD BE THE GLORY"
Father
I commit my day to You.
I place my trust in Your provision,
for every aspect of my life.
No matter what the day holds or
how things may appear, I am certain
I can depend on Your love and
faithfulness. Direct my steps. Allow
faith in You to rule in my heart
and life today. I know You are always
with me and I am never alone. Let my
life reflect the joy You have given me,
in Jesus name, I pray.
Amen.
