Spring Sunsets

Here in St. Louis the weather has been AMAZING. Each day filled with blue skys, singing birds, running athletes, and the hope of spring. I hope that you have had the divine privilege of expereincing this in the throws of February. I'm glad February has something going for it, the month for lovers, because what month wants to be known for bleak, depressive, and oppresive for those that struggle with seasonal depression. I'm so grateful that right here on February 15th I can tell you about the beautiful sunset I saw tonight.

I was leaving a friend's house at 5:49 and it wasn't pitch black! Amazing number 1. Then as I was driving, the pink haze really did make the city look rosier. Amazing number 2. But then as the highway raised to the sky for a moment I was able to look and see that just above the tops of the trees the sun was setting. This was no typical winter sunset that always seems to be lacking or non exisistant. This sunset was filled with the beautiful pinks and oranges, soft blues and hazy purples of spring. The colors I long to see in the bleak mid winter. I'm so glad that somehow the Lord has equppied our eyes and mind to multitask, because I was mesmorized by this stunning picture yet HULLO I was driving 60mph (or a few more) on the part of the highway that stretches far above the rest leaving one wrong move for me to go plumeting to my death! None the less, my eyes got to behold this lovely sight, and my spirit for spring was revived. Just a bit more and we'll be there. Amazing numbers 3, 4, & 5.
