WOW! It’s amazing how seeing the sunshine come out just starts your day off right. Is that true for you? Especially after a long, cold winter…it’s so nice to fee the warmth on your skin from that golden ball in the sky. I certainly hope the sun is shining down on you where you are today.
While it’s still a little chilly to open the windows and let the fresh air in, its certainly a good day to go outside and just stand still and soak it in, if even for just a few minutes. The spring trees and bushes are starting to bloom…oh, how I can’t wait for those lilacs to open up. That’s one of my favorite smells and those pretty purple flowers are gorgeous to pick and put in little mason jars all around the house. Those pretty yellow dandelions that so many consider weeds are one of my favorite things, because all of our children have picked hundreds of them over the years for a bouquet for mommy. They make me smile.
The tractors around here are humming and turning up dirt as the farmers prepare to plant their crops and continue to feed the world. The grass is getting greener and greener and the sound of lawnmowers around us means summer is coming! Ahhh, smell that fresh cut grass?
Isn’t God’s beauty around us amazing?
We all get caught up in the hustle of life whether you are single, married, have children or not. We all seem so busy all the time. I’m encouraging you today to take the time to step outside and just soak in a little sunshine, look around you and see all the beautiful things. Don’t think about the next thing on your to do list, just give yourself a little moment in the sunshine and say “Thank you, Jesus”. Even if it’s only for a minute. 60 seconds. Give yourself that today. You are worth it. You are important. You are loved.
Have a Joyful Day!
