Concentrate on counting your blessings and you'll have little time to count anything else. ~Woodrow Kroll
Share the Shelter
Shortly after the noon hour Pacific Time, I stepped out of Baggage Claim and into sunlight. Not the-sun-is-shining-but-the-wind-is-blowing-and-I'm-cold sort of sun. No, the kind that hits-you-in the-face-and-warms-your-winter-bones kind of sun. I stood still in the sunshine, waiting for my sister-in-law, and my heart just did a happy dance, right there on the sidewalk.
My Heavenly Father, who hung the Sun in the Galaxy, filled me full of grace-filled blessings today -- kindnesses I don't deserve… But, He poured them over me like the rain I left in Indiana this morning.
1. Aisle seats.
2. Close gates. Loved that one!
3. Sun! Need I say more?
4. Lunch in the sun.
5. Lobster tacos at World Market.

God is always good, and gives me daily blessings. But sometimes He just fills a sunshine basket full of grace and the rays beam joy inside of me. He shelters so perfectly!

Oh I need this heartwarming post and of course the sun, coz here is freezing cold:)

A dose of warm sunshine is exactly what I need after the coldest winter I remember here in Idaho! Ha! Glad you experienced some time in the sun and with your sister in law; a beautiful blessing!
Hugs and joyful blessings Pamela!

I love your joyful heart.
Hi Pamela! I know that you will enjoy your time in California, and am happy that you are getting such nice weather on your trip. Thank you so much for hosting Share the Shelter.
Hugs,

Today is one of those days here, when the sun warms me up like a warm blanket - a complete and total gift from God. Love this.
We have had wonderful sun today - great after a blustery day yesterday. Thank you, Lord, for the sun, and above all else, the SON!
I'm with you on the sunshine! I'm pretty sure I've thanked God for that one thing more than anything else in my life -- it's almost an everyday thing (and would be if there weren't cloudy days!).
To thank God for "every little thing" is a blessed way to live!
Hi Pamela,
Our God who "hung the sun in the galaxy" -- great line. :)

Wonderful words, Pamela. I love that quote by Woodrow Kroll.

Great post, Pamela.
I have to admit, I am a spoiled California girl. And even though I live in the mountains now, where it's cold and often snowy, I still see a lot of sun!
And the warmth it brings me reminds me of God - every time.
GOD BLESS!
Your blog is wonderful and very beautiful, congratulations. Kisses from Spain.
Oh that sounds wonderful to me too! Have a wonderful break from winter!
I feel the same way about the sunshine. Bring it on!
Here comes the Son! Thanks for hosting & God bless!
Thank you for inviting me to link up today. I hope your readers enjoy my ideas, too.
I don't have to tell you to enjoy The Sun! (I could have wished for a little more warmth from the California sun we enjoyed a few days ago, but am thankful for the sun we DID see. Such a contrast to Indiana right now...)

I love the sun! And the I can hardly wait for it to shine its face upon me. Beautiful post.

I love that feeling of feeling the warmth of the sun. Especially after being cold.
God bless, Lisa :O)
I like the quote about sunrises and sunsets being almost like a glimpse of heaven. I live in California and enjoy all the warmth and it sounds like your trip is great fun as you soak up some rays.
Love the quote!
