Searching for the Son

It's been cold, dark and without sun for almost a week. The weather brought a little bit of much needed rain and a great appreciation of the sun. My eyes searched for the sun every morning these past few days and not seeing it they blinked blearily and I started my day having to try just a little bit harder to be cheerful and kind.
Yesterday the sky started to clear but the sky was not blue just a dull gray as though it had forgotten how to push through the spectrum and reflect the blue.
I feel that way too, especially on the dull and wearisome days.The days spent in self, refusing to take the time to pray or let my first thoughts be of Him. I forget or some-days refuse to reflect the Son instead letting my spectrum of emotions and selfishness get in the way of Him.

Today though, I will start the day over and will work to reflect His love and hope that when others see me they will see that I have My Father's eyes.

My gratefulness to My creator continues..
