Here Comes the Sun!

I have it playing now -- I can't quit singing it

Whether you were alive at the time of The Beatles or not you're most likely familiar with the song:

Here comes the sun (doo doo doo doo)

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun,…

OK, so it repeats a lot but come on, tell me it doesn't bring a much-needed smile to your face?

For some reason I have the Beatles playing and I'm sitting here typing and moving to the beat of the music. You just can't help it with them.

I couldn't figure why The Beatles were on my brain this morning and then I remembered. It was a text from a friend referencing them and how they were much "simpler days back then." NOT.  

From the beginning of history we have been a people in crisis ... 

      Where there is peace in one area, there is war in another. 

      Where the sun is shining in one area, the winds and rains are wreaking havoc in another.

      Where some might know freedom in one area, others are bound by oppression

      

It's called human nature

That got me to thinking ... I love how our ancestors of faith paved the way for us today. They offer us a glimpse at grace. They help us see we can have hope. 

I say that because they messed up -- just like I do. 

They disagreed with each other -- as I have done. 

We read of them when they were at their worst -- oh, have I been seen at my worst.

We also read of them when they were at their best -- thankfully, I have a few of those moments.

Throughout Scripture -- from Genesis to Revelation -- I see God's love and grace reaching out over and over again. And I know without a shadow of a doubt that God reaches out to us today. Like our ancestors of old -- it is our choice to reach out and receive.

My prayer today is that more of us choose to allow the sun to shine in our hearts and souls so much the beams are contagious.

Enjoying the Journey,

Debra
