Gratitude #5

 

Something I’m grateful for in nature is…

sunrises and sunsets. 

As an early bird, I get to see a lot of sunrises - especially when I’m driving my kids to school. 

Two things I love about sunrises (besides the obvious fact that they are beautiful):

1. They happen so fast that if you don’t pay attention, you can easily miss the best parts. This makes me feel so grateful when I catch a sunrise. I always have a“Wow! I almost missed it!” mentality. 

2. When the sun rays shine through the clouds over the east mountains. This always makes me so happy! Seeing those distinct lines of sunshine breaking through the haze always feels like a treat. 

And then, if you’re lucky, you get to see the sun set, too. A second chance! And a lovely, “Goodnight! You can try again tomorrow!” 

I call this one “Sunrise Over McDonald’s.”

Last time I did this prompt, I wrote about nature as evidence that there is a Creator.
