There is sunshine in my soul today,

More glorious and bright

Than glows in any earthly sky,

For Jesus is my light.

O there's sunshine, blessed sunshine,

While the peaceful, happy moments roll;

When Jesus shows His smiling face

There is sunshine in my soul.

 

Yesterday I was driving home from dropping Miranda off at band in the morning

and there it was.

Sunshine.

Beautiful sunshine.

You grow to appreciate it more when you don't have a continuous and unlimited supply.

Instantly I began to sing my favorite hymn.

Often I sing this (in my head....I rarely sing out loud...it scares people) on a gray day to bring a little sunshine to my soul. I just googled the song and learned the meaning behind the words.

Words: Eli­za E. Hew­itt, in Glad Hal­le­lu­jahs, by Wil­liam J. Kirk­pat­rick and John Swe­ney

(Phil­a­del­phia, Penn­syl­van­ia: Thom­as T. Task­er, Sr., 1887). Hew­itt suf­fered a se­vere back in­ju­ry, but af­ter six months in a cast,

 she was fin­al­ly able to take a simp­le walk in the park. The joy she felt at her re­cov­ery prompt­ed these words.

Music: John R. Swe­ney (MI­DI, score).

Perspective.

Also a VERY healthy thing to have a daily dose of.
