When the Sun Shines!

Yesterday was a raw, wet day here in northern Indiana. The kind of day you don't mind spending in meeting after meeting after meeting (which is great because that was pretty much my day!). But in talking with my wife, the weather back home in Lancaster was much different. No rain ... and lots of warm breezes. The difference? The sun! Here the sun's warming rays were blocked by all the think clouds and rain that fell from them. So the temperature never got much beyond the low 40's. But back home, with the sun warming the ground which in turn warmed the air, the temperature climbed into the pleasantly comfortable mid 60's. A sure sign that spring has arrived!

So ... the sun (and its visible presence in the sky) was a big reason why Lancaster, PA had a pleasant day (and the sun's lack of appearing was the reason it was so ugly, weather-wise, here in Indiana). What is true of the weather is also true in life. The sun makes all the difference ... or better said, the SON makes all the difference. Jesus Christ came that we might "have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). And the full or abundant life he is talking about here is not a life of material abundance - but rather a life filled with THE thing that really matters: a living and vibrant relationship with Him, the God who made us! And when we live in the presence of the SON --- we will begin to experience life to the full! For you see, the Son makes all the difference!

Thanks for stopping by . . .
