Lessons #79: "Sunnnriiiiseee, Sunnnseeetttt.."

Today I am thankful for the sunrise, for another day. We have no clue what the future may hold. We know what we hope is going to happen, but only God knows what's going to happen in five minutes, two hours, five years, or a thousand years. Every morning when I wake up, my first thoughts are, "Why is it sooooo early?! Why do I have to be up right now?!" and then I remember I'm 18 and I have to go to school every day.

Then when I'm driving to school, I see the sunrise. I stop and marvel at the beauty of such a simple thing. One thing I love about living in Texas, it's a blessing and a curse, is the flat land. It may be flat, dry, and plain, but boy are the sunrises amazing. As you may have heard, "You ain't seen a sunrise until you've been to Texas." (However, Colorado comes in a close second I must say).

I am thankful for every day I'm alive. I sometimes take it for granted, waking up every morning. Seeing the sunrise on my way to school reminds me to thank God for giving me another day.
