Daily Gratitude Year 9- Day 356: Today, I am grateful the days are getting longer.
We made it! The shortest day of the year and the longest night is behind us. We can lift our eyes and look toward the summer solstice... it is only 6 months away.
The nights are long right now. In the long nights, we have an opportunity to look for the stars. Some have even heard angels sing in the long winter nights:
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. -Luke 2:8-11
That night must have slipped by in a blink, with so much to behold and take in. The wonder of it all, we can only imagine.
When the night seems long, I am reminded to pause, listen and look for the unexpected wonders in the night. Still, I relish the move toward longer days.
Today, I am grateful the days are getting longer.
