Not all sunrises are brilliantly colored, in fact, I'd say most are uneventful, lacking in personality...in a word, normal. However, when the atmospheric conditions are just so, the earth rotates and night becomes dawn and dawn becomes morning, colors appear as if by magic and kiss the sky with light.
Many times people feel sunrises play second fiddle to sunsets. It's understandable, if anything because many are asleep when the sun crests the horizon, or at work, or beginning their day. At sunset, well...the work day is done (for most of us...) and we can enjoy that which is given.
But, a sunset cannot possibly provide the benefits of a sunrise. A sunrise welcomes a new day, a day that has never existed in time. A sunrise bathes the world in hope.
Because I work at home, I have the opportunity to see the sunrises each workday morning, and when they're amazing, I step outside and snap a picture or two and hope for the best. Like sunrises, sometimes the photos are average, but other times, the beauty of the moment is captured forever and what no longer exists remains.
A sunrise is a promise, a promise from God that there is a future...a future of unlimited possibilities, for everything created, everything we know happens after a sunrise.
