We just returned from our weekly grocery trip, including a stop at our favorite local fruit/vegetable stand.  As “snowbirds” from New England, it is a delight to be able to purchase fresh tomatoes, corn, fruit and many other treats in the month of February.  The Florida warmth and SUN make the growing season fruitful and abundant.  It’s one of the things we just love about being here during the winter months.

Is your life brighter and more fruitful each day?  Are you growing?  The SON is with us every day to nurture our growth with his unconditional love and protection.  His word allows us to mature in our faith.  As we grow and open our hearts to our Lord Jesus, we then can be witnesses and examples to others.  We can share the unconditional love of God that dwells within us.

Let’s rejoice in this SonShine and praise our heavenly Father who strengthens, encourages and protects us each and every day.

“Joyful, joyful we adore thee, God of Glory, Lord of Love!
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, praising thee, their sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the gloom of doubt away.
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day.”*

Hope you enjoy these beautiful clear boys’ voices praising God in this well-loved hymn.

Joan
