There is Sunshine in My Soul Today

Ah sunshine, that generous gift from a loving Father in Heaven to remind us of all the blessings we have; to lift, inspire and warm our souls. Especially at this time of year I crave sunshine and blue skies. Winter is almost over and the earth is starting to awaken. There are no buds on the trees yet, but the sunshine returning to the world in increasing frequency brings with it the promise that new life is coming and soon everything will be green and fresh and fragrant. Even if you live where the snow is still three feet deep you can have sunshine too. Read an uplifting book, listen to some cheerful music, play with a child, call a friend, do something kind for a stranger and I guarantee you will feel sunshine in your soul and remember that those blessed rays of sunlight will return. Soon.
