Glowing Grapefruit

The older I get the more I realize how much my mother has rubbed off on me.  This weekend I was eating a grapefruit and the sun was coming in just so that it looked like my grapefruit was lit from within!  The color was so interesting.  I had to take a picture.  It reminded me of once when Mom was giving thanks over our meal of baked potatoes with toppings and said “Thank you Lord for greens and reds and yellow and orange and off white…” at this point we are all looking around at each other like “What the..” She was looking at all the colors on her plate and thanking God for them.  We, as teenagers, thought it was weird but of course now I appreciate that she notices things like that which has taught me to do the same.  So thank you Lord for grapefruit color which is neither orange or pink but some where in-between and calling it salmon doesn’t seem right…
