The weather in my area over the last couple of days has been terrific: beautiful, high blue skies, brilliant sunshine, moderate temps. This, after weeks of rain, has been a welcome and unexpected start to November. I'm reminded of one of the late John Denver's lyrics: "Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy..." I suppose almost everyone feels better when the sun is shining. I have more energy and tend to be more optimistic in general when the weather is nice.
From the standpoint of Christian discipleship, I know that there is a kind of spiritual sunshine that strengthens me, even when the days are gloomy. "Thy word is a lamp unto my path," says the Psalmist. "I am the Light of the world," says Jesus Christ. This is "Son-shine" that truly makes me happy!
