Short Window of Time

The sun streaming into our breakfast nook this morning brought me joy, so I snapped this quick pic of our bright and cheery space.  Just a short time later the sun was behind the clouds and although lovely, the radiance was missing.  The window of opportunity to enjoy the sunshine was not a big one.

I find that it's that way with life also.  Some wonderful and glorious opportunities are only there for a short window of time.    

One must always be on the look out for those opportunities.  The ones that shine radiantly just as though God parted the clouds, allowing a beam of light to shine on them with the sole purpose of drawing our attention lest we miss them.
