Who made the Sunshine?

I had the sweetest conversation with Sydney this morning. Just like her Momma, she doesn't do mornings. But today, she actually woke up before sunrise and this was quite out of the ordinary for us. :) We always talk about how at night, the sun goes down and the moon comes out. She is obsessed with finding the moon in the sky whenever we have been out late at night. For some reason (because we are always still asleep), we haven't really emphasized the mornings and the sun coming up.

Well, this morning, while we were getting breakfast together and opening curtains, I pointed out that the sun was waking up and getting ready for the day as well. She literally stared out the window for the longest time watching the sun slowly rise in the sky. It started out behind our neighbor's trees. And as it rose into full view, she yelled so excitedly , "Mommy made the sunshine! Mommy, you made it!" Oh my gosh, I melted! But, we all know who really makes the sunshine, so I had to correct her and say that God made the beautiful sunshine. We said a quick little prayer thanking God for such a wonderful gift and the promise of a new day.

It was a wonderful morning and makes me so thankful to be her Mommy!
