Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. The air may be cold, but the sunrise this morning has the potential to add warmth to ANY Soul…IF they look for it, that is. A cup of hot coffee…a little one-on-one time with the Author and Perfecter of my Faith, and I’m good to face the Spiritual Battle all over again. I was born for such a time as this, and I’m Unstoppable! I choose to look at my Life with a pair of Grateful eyes, and I never grow tired of watching the dawn of a New Day. Isn’t that the way it should be with life?

I could watch the sun rise a million times, and each one would be uniquely different than any one before or any one after. No sunrise is ever the same. The sun may rise from the same direction over this farm every morning, but this moment in time will never come my way again, so I choose to savor each sunrise all the days of my Life. Each one is a precious gift and a miracle to marvel at, and I’ll never grow tired of watching the dawn of any new day because it’s how I Perceive the New Day that will Determine how I Live it out.

I could watch a smile cross the face of my child or grandchild a million times, and each one is uniquely beautiful to me. A smile from the same face, but for different reasons than all of the other smiles before or all of the smiles after. I could never grow tired of watching their smiles or the way their eyes join in on the joy of the moment. That moment in time, that reason to smile will never come my way again, and I’ll savor each one all of the days of my life because of it.

I could hear belly laughing echoing off the walls of this old farmhouse a million times, but I’ll never grow tired of that sweet sound. The kind of laughter that is contagious to another and the kind of laughter that can soften the sting of Life in an instant. Each laugh comes for a unique reason…a moment in time that will never pass my way again, so I choose to savor each one all of the days of my life.

I’m looking at my Life with a pair of grateful eyes this morning, and I refuse to take any Gift for granted. One Day I’ll witness my last sunrise of this Journey called Life and that could be a very sad thought IF I didn’t Know what’s in store for me after my last earthly sunrise. On that Day, I’ll step away from the earthly sunrise, and I’ll immediately step into the Presence of the Most High GOD. I’m no expert (yet), but I’ve got a feeling that when I stand in the presence of the Glory of the Lord, He will made alll sunrises look like muted sparks. Hallelujah.

How about you?
