The sun was just coming up over the mountains today as I took my dogs
for their morning walk. I smiled as I watched the purple, pink and red
clouds slowly turn to white and gold. The air was cool rather than cold
and the sweet sunshine was warm on my face. Even though there wasn't
any leaves on the trees, I could still hear the birds singing songs of
Spring. I looked up and saw both a cardinal and a blue jay flying
through the sky above me.
Even my dogs seemed to notice the
difference in the air. They were prancing and playing instead of just
doing their morning business in the grass. The golden disk of the sun
had just cleared the hillsides in the distance and it looked like it was
going to be a beautiful day. As I headed inside, though, I realized
something. The beauty of the day didn't come from the warmth of the
sun. It came from the warmth within my own heart and soul.
You
see, every day that we wake up alive in this world can be a beautiful
day if we make it so.
It doesn't matter if it is gray and rainy
or cold and snowy outside. It doesn't matter if our lives are full of
struggles, pains, and frustrations. Each day we are given a chance and a
choice to make it a beautiful day.
Make today a beautiful day
then. Give the day all the warmth within you. Share your smile with
others. Give a hug or an encouraging word to a struggling soul. Be kind
to those who need your kindness. Offer a helping hand to a hurting
heart. Do what you can to make this world a better and more beautiful
place. Share the love that our Heavenly Father gives you with everyone
you meet. It is your day and it is your choice how you live it!
May all of your days be beautiful ones. May they be full of love,
laughter, and light. May they help to bring you closer to God and this
world closer to Heaven.
