36

I wish everyday was my birthday.

or rather

I wish everyday was this birthday.

or rather

I wish I could hold on to this feeling of overwhelming gratefulness

For each and every person

Who crossed my mind and heart today.

Never before in my (now even longer) memory

Has spring come in the dead of winter.

Fall, yes. October, yes.

Grey January?

Nope.

But now, today,

a newness, a hope,

a sense of Him in each step of my past

and a glimmer of light in the future.

And so this grey sky has transformed

from dreariness to

a Lightening of the darkness.

For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness," has made us understand that this light is the brightness of the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.

2 Cor 4:6
