Today was an ordinary Thursday, really. The only difference was that today, I took a little more time to "smell the roses". Sometimes, life gets so busy that it's hard to stop and relax and enjoy the day that God has blessed us with! I don't want to be so busy that this happens. I want to enjoy every breath, every scene, every moment!
It all started when I got off of our normal "schedule" and ran to pick up a few sale items before we started school. Austin went with me and Avery chose to stay home and get started on school. While I was in the store pre-occupied with my coupons, little did I know that Austin was working on a little surprise! He bought these beautiful flowers and left them on my car seat in the car! <3 Sweetest EVER!!
Well, we got back home and got our school done. Then Avery and I went on a small trip to a nearby wildlife area this afternoon and hiked up to look at a waterfall that he had found and told me about. I asked him to take me there so I could snap a few pictures. It was so beautiful! Some of the water was frozen. We were even able to catch the sun setting on our way home!
I was reminded today of how beautiful God's handiwork is...
Prayerful that I slow down and enjoy each and every day like I should! <3
<3 Psalm 19:1
"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork."
<3 Psalm 73: 28
"But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works."
<3Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."
That is one of my favorite verses. It reminds me that when life gets so hectic I need to slow down and remember what's most important in this life. Love you!
ReplyDeleteLove you too! I need a constant reminder to slow down. I don't know how it happens, but somehow I always end up rushing!! :)
