Do you ever think life is passing you by? Or that your schedule is too hectic? That you are too busy to enjoy the little things? We have many commitments pulling us in different directions; each one needing our time and attention. Demands that are placed on us (or that we place on ourselves) can be overwhelming and unbearable.
I realized something yesterday while pulling out of my driveway. I need to stop with my scheduled day and busy routine and enjoy the beauty around me. As I walked into the crisp October air, I took in my surroundings. I noticed the changing of one season to the next; the colors that filled the trees were bright and brilliant! Against the blue sky, the leaves were beautiful shades of amber, burnt orange and rustic red. The sun was shining and provided enough warmth (along with a jacket and scarf!) that I was cozy and content. There is a verse that comes to mind, "Be still and know that I am God". (Psalm 46:10). Sometimes, we need to be still and appreciate the beauty that God has created for us on earth. He created it for us to enjoy...and in doing so we honor Him. He cares for us and wants to bless us and enrich our life. Let's take a break from our crazy hectic schedules and enjoy the beauty of today. Breathe in the cool air and allow it to refresh your soul. Walk outside, look around and Be Still.
With love, Stefanie
