Look Around!

 

     Pause for the miracles today. In the midst of the drudgery, before the dreaded meeting, after a difficult discussion, walking to the car, wherever you are, look around. God has spoiled us with the riches of His creation and we often take it all for granted.

     The spring flowers that perpetually show their beauty after the long winter months. A baby’s smile. A grandma and grandpa holding hands. The worms crawling through the garden making the soil rich and fertile, the cocoon ready to transform into a butterfly. The beauty of a fresh snow. The sun rising and setting every single day. The shape of the white, fluffy clouds, the sounds of a bird, a cricket, a cat. (The crickets do drive me crazy sometimes!!)

     Add your own to the list above. Leaves are beginning to change into their bounty of fall colors, ready to let go. Be observant. Praise God throughout your day. Thank Him for the miracles around you. Our God is an amazing God, our Creator, our King.

How many are Your works, Lord! In wisdom You made them all, the earth is full of your creatures. Psalm 104:24

Lord,

We stop to praise You for the splendors that surround us each day. Keep us mindful of all of the beauty and miracles around us today.

In Jesus name,

Amen
