Will I make it to the coffee shop, grab my favorite and arrive at the beach before the sun peeks over the horizon. I made a promise last night to my niece, Iris that I would video the entire sunrise for her so that she can watch it over & over while she is at her place in the city. For us it is like a theatrical experience. We have to be there in our spot, just a couple minutes before it happens. Everything around me is still as though it too is awaiting the moment. Coffee is my perfect companion as the warmth touches my face. I sigh in relief that I made it in time. I'd cut it pretty close but I was able to keep my promise & that was so important. We may never realize how something that is often taken for granted can mean so much to another. At this time Iris is needing a lot of rest and cannot be here right now. It is such a small favor she asked and yet I almost didn't make it this morning! Amazing how every color changes at first light.
When I send her the video, the sound of her joy over this makes me want to be a better person for helping others as well. I'm sure you know what I mean when I say it seems like such a small step and I know you have many in your own path that appreciate what you do for them. My Person has only asked for a video of the sunrise and yet I know her needs go far beyond that. As you read this I know you are thinking about your own journey...So let me send out a thank you for all that you do to help brighten someone's day. God tells us that no kind deeds are overlooked so what you do is pleasing to Him.
Today was especially for Iris, but the experience time after time as I watch this miracle of the sunrise is always brand new! It is the same for her when she opens my videos! It always makes us hold our breath until that first visual...Then we enjoy the miracle anew while it takes our breath away. Enjoy your day my Readers wherever you are, if possible write something you felt was special for you today or share it in a comment. I love to hear about these wonderful pieces of your day too. As always, until next coffee hour, have a great day, Lane
To IRIS: Her Happy Place was with her family & Friends whom she also treated like family. She will forever be 'Our Person'
Love you forever.
