For those in the Tri-State area, it was refreshing to wake up this morning and see the sun wasn't it? It reminded me of Jesus' words in Matthew 5, '[Our heavenly Father] makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.'The rising of the sun is a profound act of God's love and mercy toward this world that has, by and large, rejected and ignored His goodness. But I am not often inclined to really feel gratitude for the sun. It rises every day, so it's easy to take it for granted.
Yet this morning, I had a deep gratitude for the sun. Which makes me think that rainy days (especially an entire week of rainy days) are actually good blessings from our Maker, which He uses to ignite in us a sense of joy and thanksgiving for the sun that we ought to feel every day.
