Though it clearly happens all the time, I am surprised by seeing sunrise in New York City. That dark night filled with clouds and loud taxi cabs and trucks that go ‘beep, beep, beep’ when in reverse–it gets lighter bit by bit and then the color appears…pretty much every color of red imaginable. Not being a morning person, I don’t think a lot about sunrise. And that, of course, makes me think about God. What are the beautiful things I miss every day that Jesus wants me to see? What are the gifts that I miss? Today I am asking for the eyes to just see one of them.
