Yesterday, I asked God to show me some love and mercy today. I made the same request as I awoke this morning. To show his love for me, I asked that I have no anxiety attacks. I had no anxiety attacks today even though today was very, very, very, stressful. LIfe is good.... Here Comes the Sun Walking around Lady Bird Lake in Austin it was almost day break and freezing. The lake was letting off its heat in what looked like steam. I looked to my right and saw the sunrise. I started thinking about the sunrise and how I would describe it. It brings me light that I can see. With this light it brings warmth. I feel the sunlight hitting my sleeves and warming my garments. The heat passes through these garments to my skin and I feel its warmth all the way to my bones. My fingers start thawing out as my body absorbs the warmth of the sun and now is able to keep all of my parts warm and toasty. The sun gets higher but not really. The sun is stationary, never moving. It has always been there and always will be. The earth moves. The earth is spinning at a perfect tilt in an elliptical path around the sun which causes one part of the earth to be heated differently than other parts which causes the weather to happen. This tilt and path cause the wind to blow and moisture to transform from one state to another. This process is in place and I never question that the process will be in place tomorrow, just as the sunrise. Clouds may hide it but it will happen, though I sleep or am awake. The sun is a little higher, but not really. The energy that the sun puts off is constant. It is ever producing and never dies out. We have just begun to harness this energy. Special collectors have been created to absorb and redistribute this energy. Even with its endless supply, this energy has barely been utilized. Most of this energy is lost in the process. Before my life is over, this energy will be as wide spread and utilized as the natural effects of the sun. People will have let go of their fossil fuel loves and learn to trust in the sun, just like the sunrise. The sun is a little higher, but not really. Did I ask the sun to rise? I did not but it rose just the same as it did yesterday. The earth is still spinning on its perfect tilt and perfect elliptical path around the beautiful source of light, warmth, and energy. As I continue my thoughts of describing the sun, it is hard for me to deny that there is a God. God supplies all that I need in endless supply. It is up to me to receive it, to harness it. As the sunlight brings life to a tree, it is the light of God that brings life to my soul. His promises and love are constant. They will be there just like the sunrise whether I sleep or am awake. Though I may not see them due to all of the clouds of turmoil, they are there. People tell me to always turn to God. I do. God uses people. We are His collectors of His energy and created by Him to distribute the energy or love as needed. As with solar power, we are a long way from redistributing this love at 100% efficiency. A good description would be to say that we leak. There will be a day that we are able to be the distributers of God’s love that we were created to be. I have survived this past year due to the love that has been distributed by all of my friends. Thank all of you one more time. Life is good. Look! Here comes the son
