SKY BLUE PINK

 

SKY BLUE PINK

Sun's going down

leaving a pink crown

in the western sky on top of the hill

where paintbrush colors of sky-blue-pink spills.

Sky’s lit up with pink

as the sun sinks

ending another day

with sky-blue-pink rays.

Second by second

the Creator's palette

colors and paints

sky-blue-pink.

Watch now as it dries

high up in the sky,

flushed with pink

sky-blue-pink winks.

When you wink

sky-blue-pink

is gone.

So long.

Dusk has turned into night

after a brief twilight

when sky-blue-pink

briefly winked.

Sky-blue-pink is a mirror

that tomorrow will be clear.

Blue skies delight

at first light.

Next time you see sky-blue-pink

take a minute to watch it sink

forecasting tomorrow's favorable weather

as tonight's sunset became a barometer.

Though gone in a wink,

the sky in sky-blue-pink

casts a rosy glow

wherever it goes.

Like wearing rose-colored glasses

wherever it touches or passes,

sky-blue-pink

makes one think.

What if we looked at life through rose-colored glasses?

What if our attitude was one of gratitude versus

fretting or grumbling,

worrying or complaining.

What if we recounted our blessings

instead of daily stressing?

Wouldn't life seem better

and a lot more sweeter?

Try sharing your blessings out loud

next time you're with friends in a crowd.

You'll have an appreciative audience

when you count your blessings, not your can'ts.

Besides, doesn't worrying get us down?

Aren't we often seen wearing a frown?

Did it benefit in the end

to daily stress to no end?

Daily put on your rose-colored glasses

and recount your blessings as the day passes.

When you have an attitude of gratitude,

you'll find a positive change in your attitude.

When evening comes, you say,

'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,'

and in the morning,

'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red.'

Matthew 16:2-3

Do everything without complaining or arguing,

so that you may become blameless and pure,

children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation,

in which you shine like stars in the universe.

Philippians 2:14-15

Do not grumble.

I Corinthians 10:10a

He has heard your grumbling against him...

You are not grumbling against, us,

but against the Lord.

Exodus 16:8b

Blessings crown the head of the righteous.

Proverbs 10:6a

To me, sunrises and sunsets showcase God’s glory touching earth. 

Do take a moment to appreciate this benediction or blessing from heaven.
