We ache for her homecoming. We pine for her warmth and gentle glow. Her sunshine makes our day. Gives us reason to step from the safety of our homes. She is missed. She is missed. Come. We are waiting for her return.

Feel the sun that burns brightly within. Feel Spirit’s warm, loving, presence. The sun of God’s brilliance is always shining from within our warm, loving heart. Mark Ellison

God’s love and kindness will shine upon us like the sun that rises in the sky. Luke 1:78

We are all welcome to walk in the sunshine of God’s love and kindness.

Even on days when we cannot venture into God’s meadow. Even on days when we cannot cross the threshold of our doorway. Feeling…
