Sunrise

A week ago I traveled from Richmond to Atlanta and then on to Columbus. The flight left just before 7 AM. It was fascinating to see the sunrise from different perspectives. The flight took off just as the sun was coming up over the horizon.



Somewhere below 10,000 feet the sun continued to provide a golden glow. You can just see the James River in the foreground.

Some where close to 30,000 feet the sun appears to have risen and provides a brilliant glow well above the horizon.

Yet even after the sun seemed well above the horizon, the clouds below are glowing with the amber and gold of the sunrise.


As the plane begins its descent into the clouds the sun is up and the sky is bright full of hope for a new day.


There is something special about sunrise. It is usually a peaceful time, the sunrise brings beautiy, light and hope for a new day.




...weeping may remain for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5
