bright
The pond glistens beneath the bright sunlit sky as the smell of burning hardwood wafts from the chimney. Forest and fields are alive with the chatter of birds as the temperature yields a brief winter reprieve. Even the rooster exercises his lungs to notify all of his mastery of the flock as they scratch the pasture ground for morsels of tasty seed or grubs. In the sunlit stillness of the day one cannot help but marvel at the grandeur of the Master’s creation. Even a brief encounter with the out of doors on this cool and bright day inspires this life participant to give thanks for the joy of this life lived out. A heart filled with gratitude is the filter through which this day is viewed. May your lens be brightened by the light of grace and thankfulness.
