Hello Friends,
As we gather on this shortest day of the year, I can’t help but marvel at the sheer beauty that surrounds us. The sunrise paints the sky with hues of pink and gold, while the sunset bathes everything in warm, glowing tones. And when night falls, the stars twinkle above, almost like our loved ones who have passed on, sending us messages of love and reassurance.
In these moments, it’s impossible not to reflect on the awesomeness of God, the master artist behind this breathtaking masterpiece. The Creator who designed the ebb and flow of daylight, the dance of stars in the night sky, and the comforting rhythm of the seasons.
As we experience the shortest day, let’s take a moment to thank God for the blessings we have. In every sunrise and sunset, in the constellations that light up the night, we witness His boundless creativity and love.
A Bible verse that resonates with the celestial beauty we behold is Psalm 19:1 (NIV): “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” This verse reminds us that every twinkle in the night sky is a testament to the divine craftsmanship that surrounds us.
Let’s carry this gratitude into the longer days ahead, cherishing each moment and finding joy in the simple yet profound wonders of life. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” As we journey into the expanding daylight, let’s embrace each day with gratitude, knowing that the Creator’s artistry continues to unfold before our eyes.
Wishing you all a season filled with light, love, and the profound beauty of the world around us.
With heartfelt blessings,
Deb 🌸
