Light

This morning I am sitting next to our south facing bedroom window.  As I read I keep moving my chair closer to the window, trying to get as full a serving of vitamin D as possible.  How I love sunlight.  Last week at this time I was in Orlando, and the sunlight was all around me.  After this long long winter, I cannot get enough.

Reading through the Bible this year with my Saturday morning girls. Whew - such a pace.  I like to savor and chew on a passage, and thus I am WAY WAY behind.  But once in a while I gulp large quantities and make some progress towards getting caught up.  Today is that day.

I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.  -- Jesus,  (John 8:12)

Am I drawn to Him as I am drawn to this window at winter's close?  Or do I treat our relationship like a late summer's day - taking His light for granted?

Yesterday a friend noticed my glow - the effect of last week's sun on my face and skin.  In spite of my liberal use of sunblock, I have a decidedly healthier pallor.  In my reading this morning, I read,

"…Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God." (Exodus 35:29)

Are you glowing?  Can people see your time with Jesus reflected in your countenance?
How is your level of Vitamin D?  More importantly, how is your Vitamin J?

Just  a little reflection (pun intended) on my time with God today.

I'd love to hear from you.  :o)
