From the Book of Ecclesiastes:

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the Sun. But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many.

I found a Bible lying open and face-down on the sidewalk one morning, a few minutes after I had faced the Sun and said a prayer of gratitude for his light. When I turned it over to look at it, I found that it was open to this verse.

(Another strange thing happened next, but that's a story for another day.)
