Have you noticed how wonderful the world is today?
Because it is.

The gray sky.
The cold air that feels alive.
The frozen grass.
The silhouettes of the bare trees against the clouds.
The freezing concrete.
The warm smiles of friends who are bundled in scarves and sweaters.
The anticipation of Christmas.
The reminders of God's grace in words, whether they are prayed, spoken, or read.

His goodness is everywhere.
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)

Thank you for putting into words the joys and glory the world holds for those who take time to notice and rejoice. An old song's words I think fit very appropriately. "Sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah, helps to chase the blues away. When blues pursue ya, Hallelujah, helps you through the darkest day." <3
