Sunrise

At 6AM I watched a beautiful sunrise fade into the hazy blue of morning. Orange sky blesses me. This morning it brought on a revelation.

I have sort of lived two lives. Well, not sort of, definately, I have lived two lives and I don't mean in the hocus pocus of reincarnation.

Twenty-five years ago, I could have been caught up in the same view of sunrise. Rising early, driving out to go horseback riding, my husband and thirteen-year-old son at home.

Today was VERY different. I am still; Rising early, driving out to go horseback riding, my husband and son at home.

So what is different? Many things. First, they are a different husband and son, but that really isn't that different. My first husband was not a horrible person, my first son is still a nice guy. Second, after 25 years, it is a different set of horses. The real difference however, is in my heart. My heart is at peace.

It was the discord in my heart that led to a divorce over 20 years ago. It was discord in my heart that kept me on edge, that kept me feeling like I had to have something better. The sunrise today was very different. I saw it through different eyes. The eyes are sooooo connected to the heart. Today, I saw it through a peaceful heart.

So how did my choatic heart grow to be a peaceful heart? In my seeking after the divorce, I found only one place that my heart was content. That place was in the hands of Jesus. If you are not a "believer" and reading this, I cannot convince you of how much Jesus changed my life. All I can do is encourage you to ask Jesus into your heart, to be your guide. You will never reget it.

Live a blessed life.
