This morning I saw this – the beginning of what could be a great sunrise.
Anyone who knows me knows I am obsessed with sunrises and sunsets.
My first thought was to wait until it got better.
I’ve seen enough sunrises to know that there could be so much more than this as the sun rose.
But, something told me to take a picture right then.
So, I went out and took the picture and felt a message in the sunrise.
Here there was a beautiful, soft sunrise beginning and I almost missed the beauty in what was because of what I thought it could be – better.
How often are we waiting for better to come along that we miss what’s right in front of us?
We look past what we have in anticipation for what could come next.
An ever playing thought that I have to harness is “When this _____________, then ___________.
Meanwhile what was just in front of me was the better I missed while waiting for more than what I thought I had.
My goal is to enjoy what I have, what’s in front of me and if better comes along, then bonus.
Thank you, God, for good, better, best and what you have chosen for us.
