Contrasts

Jeff and I went to the "tea park" this morning.  Once or twice a week, we'll get hot tea from Starbucks, then drive to the park and just sit in the car and drink our tea and talk.  There was a cold breeze this morning, but the sun was shining brightly so it started to get a little warm in the car.  I opened the windows part-way and the cold wind felt wonderful.  It was such an enjoyable contrast - the warm sun and hot tea contrasted against the cold breeze.  I realized it's the contrast that makes so many things enjoyable.  A rainy day after a long stretch of sunny days or vice versa.  Spring after winter, and fall after summer.  Having everything the same all the time would just get boring, don't you think?  I found God today in the refreshing contrasts of warm sun and cold wind at our tea park outing.
