OPEN THE BLINDS

In the morning, open the blinds. 

There is just something about welcoming a new day by opening the blinds in your home.  If you get up early enough, you may just witness the sun rise.  If you get up later in the day (something I have rarely done in my life), then you will fill your home with light all at once.  On a rainy day just opening the blinds brings more light into your home.  It just makes your home brighter.  AND I just see better when there is A LOT of light. 

Because of my love of light, I open the blinds as soon as I am dressed everyday.  It is a wonderful habit I would like to pass on to you, my sons.

We are told in scripture that we “are the light of the world”.  (Matthew 5:14)  We are, also, told in scripture that Jesus said “to the people, I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”  (John 8:12)

When I look at those two scriptures, I am reminded of opening the blinds.  When Jesus saved me, He became the light of my life.  He opened the blinds of my heart.  So I no longer walk in spiritual darkness.  Because I am walking with Jesus, the light of life shines through the opened blinds of my heart. 

Because of my love of Jesus, I open the blinds of my heart every morning when I spend time with Him.  It is a wonderful habit I would like to pass on to you, my sons.

So Open the Blinds twice in the morning.  Open the blinds of your home and your heart.

I love you both,

Mom
