There is a difference between sunrises and sunsets.
Mornings are full of promises and possibilities.
Evenings are time to reflect back on the beauties
of the day-things accomplished, lessons learned.
Our lives are full of sunrises filled with anticipation,
expectations and dreams that may be fulfilled.
Only in sunsets do we find the time to reflect,
see the slow growth made from overcoming challenges.
Giving thanks for difficult times, we find strength
to endure each day with its pleasures and burdens.
Beginning and endings are both beautiful,
the birth of a new child and the passing of loved ones.
The cycle contines and renews its promises as
God watches over us with never ending patience.
Another generation is eager to view their sunrises,
unaware that sunsets will come too in time.
This is a slide show I made for a class I taught today on
www.slide.com using the two photos above+two more. Amazing.
