A Brilliant Blessing

This is a good day, and it was just confirmed to be even better than it was as I looked out my window and saw the gift the setting sun was giving me. I can't see the sunset from my vantage point, but across the street in perfect view is a small garden with a variety of flowers and plants nestled among the rocks. The bush is on fire with glowing color as the rays of the sun splash across it's Autumn leaves. It's breathtaking! And the red, pink and yellow blossoms are equally blessing my gaze with their brilliance. Soon they will be gone, but for now they are all mine to fully enjoy.

It has lifted my spirits immeasurably and caused me to express gratitude to God for this glorious little piece of His earth that exists right out my window. I think I can get back to life now with a smile on my face and a feeling of hope in my heart. All is well, at least for this moment. I'll take it!
