Sun up, Sun down

The past couple weeks have been a little tough, part because of work, and part my own laziness catching up to me. Granted that I've been busy with external things (work, church life, home stuff), I'm excited and exhausted at the same time. Is that possible? I thought about what I could share and my mind drew a blank. Then right before end of the work day, my co-worker mentions he placed a picture I sent to him recently, and that he placed it on his desktop? I was in a brain-fart when he talked to me and I had no idea what he was talking about, so I got up and walked over, and then it was clear again.

If there is one thing I realize about the sun, is that it looks good coming up, as it does going down. However, the cloud cast from difficulty and hardship in one's life gets in the way so many times that you can forget the good things that make life worthwhile. I think the sun (not that I worship the sun or anything..ooga buga....) reminds us of what is possible, from sun up, to sun down.

This picture reminds me of a verse, Psalm 113: 3 "From the rising of the sun, to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised."

A little bit about the picture: I took this picture a few weeks ago after returning from signing papers with my sis on a new home we are purchasing! Yay, home! She had parked her car at a nearby gym. As I pulled out after dropping her off at her car, I looked up, and and almost hit the curb. Oh, and I also saw the above. I have done no touch up to the picture whatsoever. What you see is exactly what I saw. There was a puddle of water from the sprinklers, and I didn't know at first how that would come out; I will claim ignorance with a touch of luck on that one. It's sights like these that make me want to try harder in life.

It's amazing what you can see in a parking lot.
