"Mommy! The SKY is PURPLE!"

She marveled at this with shock and and delight this morning in our kitchen.  

To see her most favorite color in the most unexpected place--the sky!  What an absolute treat!  She smiled and gazed at the colors as the sun rose this morning.  

Sometimes we get so caught up in our lives--the hustle, the bustle, the necessity and the desire.  We put our heads down and forge ahead without taking a moment to breathe and look around. 

And we tend to miss these simple moments.  

May we all be challenged to look for the purple in the sky today and give thanks when the unexpected falls into our path.
