Moments

My life is a string of moments. There may be minutes, hours, days, or years between these moments, but it is the moments that define me. When placed together, they create a picture of my life and have made me who I am. I believe that many of these moments have been facilitated by our Savior, Jesus Christ to teach, lift, edify, love, chastise, mold, and direct me along the path that leads to eternal life with Him. That is why I call them “Moments in the Sun” which could also be said, “Moments with The Son.” I cherish these moments and have thanked God for them. The object of this blog is to share these “Son-lit” moments with you so that you will know that I know Jesus Christ is real. I am not going to be sharing earth-shattering miracles, but instead the little drops of “sunlight” that let me know that I am loved and that Jesus is there. I feel that moments like these are often overlooked which is sad because they bring so much joy when they are remembered with a grateful heart. So, here I am, sharing, remembering, and feeling grateful! I hope that you will respond in kind and write down your “Son-lit moments” here as well.

Years ago, I had an amazingly sweet experience. It was late one night and my head pounded with a crushing migraine. Migraines were somewhat new to me at the time and I didn’t have any medication to manage them besides ibuprofen. I was panicking and crying out in pain. My husband tried to comfort me and told me to calm down. I knew it was late and my husband needed some sleep to be able to work the next day so I did my best to fight the panic and be quiet. Then the thought of Jesus Christ healing people entered my mind. As I writhed in pain, I desperately wished that He was there and could heal me. The thought came to imagine Jesus laying His hands upon my head. So I did. I imagined His hands tenderly and gently resting upon my head. Every time the pain throbbed and my attention was diverted, I shifted it back to hands on my head. Then the next thing I knew I was waking up hours later and the pain in my head was gone. And with that, a drop of sunshine seeped into my grateful heart. ~ Cat
