Sunrise on New Seasons

Daily Gratitude Year 14-Day 133: Today, I am grateful for sunrise on new seasons.  

"But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day." -Proverbs 4:18 

New seasons is one of the rich delights of Midwest living. The scents of dawn in the spring floated through the window this morning as the sun peeked over the horizon to mark a new day about to begin. 

Our seasons are distinct. They are not hot and hotter. They are not cold and colder. Each one is full of special things that only come that season. Each one gives us a peek into the next before the change is made. Within the seasons, each sunrise marks a new day. 

Spring is in full glory and summer is around the corner. Seedlings are showing the promise of what is to come. The light of dawn breaks through each morning with new sprouts, new flower buds, and a hope that is renewed each morning. This year, we have actually had a Spring. We did not skip from cold to hot. 75 degrees is still my favorite. 

It is a day of celebrating our Morton 709 District retirees. Some have taught and served in support positions for more than 30 years. Others are in the 20 year zone. They will see the dawn of a new season when the school year ends. It will be a great afternoon with some special people. We will miss them but wish them well in their next chapter. 

Today, I am grateful for sunrise on new seasons.
