I'm not sure about the rest of you, but this year Spring seems to have been a long time coming. It's been a long winter filled with lots of snow and chilly temperatures. However, the warmer temperatures last week and the beautiful sunlight lifted the spirits of everyone I encountered. I love how much the warm rays makes me feel so incredibly happy and carefree. Thoughts of long summer days outdoors are already floating around in my head!
Just as much as beautiful weather and sun make a difference in my attitude and approach to my daily activities, I find that we can easily apply this to our interactions with the people whose paths we cross each day. Has someone ever given you a compliment or positive comment that made you light up inside? Or perhaps you've gone out of your way to do something especially kind for a friend or stranger and found what an impact it made. It's so simple, yet it has such an amazing effect on everyone involved. As Spring draws near, why not focus on being a ray of sunshine in the lives of others?
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16
