Divine Inspiration


Frost and fog created one of the most beautiful sunrise mornings I think I've ever seen. Wispy clouds, painted with the first rays of sun were glowing indescribably pink, orange and gray. It was the kind of sky, the kind of pristine beauty that only the mind and soul can hold in its memory. My eyes often turn toward the sky. Moments of wonder, heavenly beauty and feelings of overwhelming joy can all be had by simply taking a break each day to marvel at the world God has created for our delight. Albert Einstein once said...He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed. It doesn't take a genius mind to know that, but it does take a smart person to know that peace, serenity and the feeling of oneness can all be felt by simply taking a moment to still the body and soul and just be. It is in my moments of being that I feel closest to my God. It is where I find my inspiration. How will we ever hear Him if we don't go to that quiet place and listen? Today, I am filled with more gratitude for what I have, and more love for who I am than ever before in my life—all because I felt the beauty of the sunrise.
