It was another beautiful sunrise this morning. Jason had just returned home from taking Markus to seminary. I was ready to go sit down to my comfy, soft chair and read a talk from the conference Ensign.
I glanced out and saw the most beautiful sunrise. I ran to get my camera...and once again...sporting my rope, I was taking photos outside in our front yard.
While admiring the painted sky, a thought came to my mind.
God gave us the most beautiful sunrises, since we got the brown, ugly deseret.
Now, I know some people find the deseret beautiful, but I can not help but miss the blue lakes and green forests...grass that grows without sprinklers, and flowers that bloom without drip line.
But we do have the sunrises!
While snapping pictures this song by Mercy River came to my mind. I have not heard it for months, if not for a year...but there it was...Hello Sunshine.
Hello Sunshine
Hello sunshine
it’s been too long since I felt your warmth upon my face
And how much have I missed
‘Cause I’ve been focused on everything wrong
This road just felt so long
I forgot to lift my head to see you
Chorus
Oh my lovely shining for me
Let my eyes see all the beauty
Oh-oh
Hello sunshine since the moment
That I felt your beautiful warmth
I knew that I’d do anything
To keep this feeling of you
My heart comes alive
Oh who could add a day to this life
By drowning every dark sky
Fill my dark skies
Make me see the light
Life is fine so bring in the sunshine
Oh-oh
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Let in the sunshine
