God Light

I’m sitting enjoying my SoCal sunset. I laugh because it doesn’t really even involve the sun… I’m in the garden outside at the Bronson Gate, looking at the huge pillars and ornate gates just loving how the sun is splashing on the on that golden brick. The boys in the business call it God light, perfectly cascading through the evening clouds gently illuminating the things you would otherwise walk by everyday. Just as soon as you stop to notice the beauty the sun slips quietly away. Today I sit and look at the historic Paramount gates and 'count my blessings'. These days homesickness has settled in and I long for things familiar, falling leaves, crisp air, and smiles on the faces of people I know. My longing for home has temporarily blinded me and allowed my to forget about the amazing blessings that have been laid at my feet. Tomorrow I will thank God for sunshine, a job, gas in my car, a bed, and friends at all stages.
