Sunshine Inside, Sunshine Outside

       When you see your grandma looking outside of a window or doors, does it make you upset? Do you just want to take her outside and let her feel the fresh air especially when you know she loves it? It was so neat to see and hear because my grandma, when she saw the sunshine, said, "The sun" and she smiled so big. I can't believe or stand that someone, especially, someone I care about is locked inside a nursing home because they are too busy to take her out for even a second.
         How would you like to be inside staring at the sunshine from there? Not feeling it rays of warm shine or see it really sparkle things up. It must be so boring. Loving the outdoors really runs in my family and how I was born and raised. Sunshine inside and sunshine outside. Which would you rather have and I'm just not talking about the bright sun? The title/saying could be taken as an action phase in life.
        When I think about sunshine inside, I think about holding it inside of yourself. You are thinking about yourself and holding it all in. You want to do everything for yourself and it makes you feel good. That is great until you get too prideful and do things just to be noticed. When you have the sunshine inside, you can also shine it on your outside but you have to grow the inside. You have to be overwhelmed enough that you want to spill the rays out to the people around you.
        Other people can also shine to you from the outside but yet you can be so focused on something that you don't feel the warmth of the joy. If you don't focus on you and see and hear the other people around you then those rays of light and joy can go inside of you and make you feel like you are worth something.
          Sunshine inside and sunshine outside means that you are having God live in and with you all the time. In a way though, you have to be outside your comfort zone or out behind walls to see and feel the sunshine at all. That is the only way that God can move in and around you. When you are outside in the sunshine, you can play and move around in it where if you are behind walls you can't move around as much. Being outside in the sun, gives you a lot more space and freedom to run. Just being outside give you more freedom.
          That is why it always feels good to be out in God's creation. You could feel more freedom and closer to Him. The sunshine is just His Way of giving you joy and light to see Him in your life. So why don't you let the doors towards the sunshine be open and get out behind those walls that are/have been keeping you in and get outside and live your life to the fullest in 2015. It is a challenge for me and I want it to be a challenge to whoever read this entry. This is my New Year's entry and my last entry of 2014. Happy 2015!!!!
