Simple Gratitude ~ Sons


Greetings Dear Reader,

This will be brief and maybe not too insightful.  I have two sons that I love dearly.  They are both intelligent, capable, and good men.  I was privileged to see them both this weekend.

What I was pleased to see was both of them genuinely smile over things.  I saw them enjoying their friends and family.  I saw the love they share with others and the way in which they are able to make others feel accepted no matter the situation.  I primarily drove 1600 miles round trip to celebrate my Grandson’s birthday.  Seeing my Sons, however, makes the journey worth it.

Sunrise of Your Smile – Michael Card

Reject the worldly lie that says
That life lies always up ahead
Let power go before control becomes a crust around your soul
Escape the hunger to possess
And soul-diminishing success
This world is full of narrow lives
I pray by grace your smile survives

For I would wander weary miles
Would welcome ridicule, my child
To simply see the sunrise of your smile
To see the light behind your eyes
The happy thought that makes you fly
Yes, I would wander weary miles
To simply see the sunrise of your smile

Now close your eyes so you can see
Your own unfinished memories
Now open them, for time is brief
And you'll be blest beyond belief
Now glance above you at the sky
There's beauty there to blind the eye
I ask all this then wait awhile
To see the dawning of your smile

For I would wander weary miles
Would welcome ridicule, my child
To simply see the sunrise of your smile
To see the light behind your eyes
The happy thought that makes you fly
Yes, I would wander weary miles
To simply see the sunrise of your smile

Wishing you joy in the journey,
