I embraced the sunshine and the early release from work by trekking up to the Portland Rose Gardens. I didn't anticipate any roses being in bloom but, serendipitously, there were quite a few. I chose a weathered, wooden bench to sit on. Directly behind the bench was a tall, stone wall covered in moss. Looking out from my bench I saw rows and rows of varied roses all set in front of the backdrop of Portland. It was an inspiring, soul-breathing view. I sat Indian style on the bench and pulled out my book.
I had not read 2 pages when the sun suddenly sparkled brightly and warmed me through. I gazed up at the sun to see how it bravely peeked through the clouds. To my surprise no where around me was illuminated save for my little wooden bench. I instantly felt like it was a love note from God. "Dear Emily, Thanks for taking the time to love my creations. I agree that they are very beautiful. I knew you'd appreciate a burst of sunshine to warm you up. Sending my love, Your Father in Heaven." I was humbled and honored to enjoy my 2 minutes of personal sunshine afforded to me directly from the Creator. My Creator. I told Him thank you and that I love Him too.
