Here comes the sun ...

So my buddy Joe texts me and says "I see blue sky and sun." I look out my window and see only gray. He was ready for a bike ride ... I was too, but it looked too cold for my tastes. I was talked into it, though.

It was still gray when we started. It turned grayer for Joe when his chain broke halfway through the ride ... bummer. So I head back to get my truck so I can go back and pick him up. As I do, the sun starts to peek out and naturally I begin to sing Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles (not very well but no one else is in the truck).

I had really given up hope of seeing the sun today ... just decided I'd catch it another day ... hopefully tomorrow. But here it came in all it's glory. Just what I'd hoped for, just not when I had hoped for it.

I was reminded how easy it is for us to give up what we hope for when we don't see it in our timing. Yet when we are patient, at just the right time, the Son comes out and reminds us of our hope.

Here comes the Son ... and I say it's alright.
