I have a slight "obsession" (lets say) with sunshine
through the clouds. One of my most favorite things about creation is how
absolutely breathtaking the sunshine can be when peeking through the clouds.
-- I think to myself, every single time, “I bet this is what heaven
looks like.”
Last night while walking with my
husband, after eating an oreo mcflurry of deliciousness, Jed drew my
attention to the gorgeousness behind us as we were walking down the beach
towards our house.
We stopped on a dune to try and capture the loveliness in pictures and enjoy
it before the sun became faint. I remember briefly thinking, "Wow, I
never notice how wonderful the sunshine is until it's beaming through dark
clouds."
--and it hit me -- isn't that so
true?
I felt so content in that moment, so joyful and so grateful for this "little" gift. God knows how much I adore sunrise and sunset.

That little 'glimpse of heaven' makes my heart feel light and
hopeful, even when my emotions are running wild – even through tough times and
disappointments. When I see something like this, I want to praise God for how
incredible He is. How could that kind
of beauty be an accident?
And it reminds me, every time, how much I
am loved, how beautiful our God is and how excited I am to, one day, be in the
most breath-taking place with my Savior.
--If that moment had a soundtrack, this song would be playing.
