When I was growing up, my mother would wake us children by opening our bedroom door and saying in her beautiful southern drawl "Rise and shine!", and that is my call to you today! In our own unique ways, let's create the "mood lighting" that shows the world how glorious our God is, until the day we are together "...in the city [that] has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it." Revelation 21:23-24
