Don't Waste The Sunshine

Hello Everyone.  Praise the Lord!

I walked into a patient's room with a middle aged black American woman and her uncle, he was the patient.  He was asleep due to the pain relieving medications given to him to make him comfortable. When I walked in, I noticed the the lady gave me a fast smile.  When I saw that, I knew that I would have a visit.

The lady's name was Charliezetta.  She was a retired army medic.  I sat next to her and she started talking freely.  She was playing video games on a ipad, she quickly put that away to visit with me.

We were having a nice talk about her life, and the life of her uncle.  We were talking about how cold it had been lately and that now it was sunny and warming up.  I then peeked out the closed shutters and some sunshine came in the dark room.

Charliezetta said to open the shutters because she didn't believe in wasting sunshine!  She said, "Don't waste the sunshine."  It sounded like a good policy to me!  So I opened up the shutters and let in the light. A room filled with natural light is always better then artificial light anytime.

God's Light cannot fill your heart unless you open yourself up to Him. We need to open up the shutters of our souls and let His love and forgiveness into our lives.

Do you know of a time when you didn't want to waste the sunshine?  Can you tell me about it in the comments section?
