Sunshine, Glorious Sunshine.

We all need it. 

Hi Friends,

I painted this one in the backyard. The morning light was so beautiful glowing through the petals.

I’ve been in a bit of a dark mood lately. It just seems like too much of the news I’m hearing is bad. And people aren’t treating my people right. And there is too much death and sickness and I hate to see my people sad. I keep thinking, I’m not Little Mary Sunshine.

God, would you please fix this?

 Where is the light in all this? 

Ephesians 5:8

“for you were once in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.

Live as children of light.

Oh…

Matthew 5:14-16 The Message (MSG)

 “Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven."

Psalm 34:5 New International Version (NIV)

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

Isaiah 60:1 New International Version (NIV)

 “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.

We all need a little Sunshine. If we want the world to be a a better place we need to reflect our Creator. Don't hide it, live it.  So quit whining and be radiant!

(Yep, this was one of those preachy ones).

I love you friends,

Lana
