Stop and smell the roses!
Sometimes, we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of
life, and a friend may tell us to “stop and smell the roses.”
Have you ever considered that God gave roses a beautiful
smell? That taking time to smell them may bring a smile to your heavenly
Father’s face? That enjoying the everyday blessings of life may be part of your
Comforter’s plan?
What else has God given you to enjoy?
How about…
A family to love--do you show them your love every day or as often as you see them?
A smile from a stranger--do you return the smile or greet them with care?
A hug from a loved one--do you treasure your closeness?
A sunny day from a cloudless sky--do you bask in the sunlight?
A rainy day to curl up and read inside--do you breathe in the peaceful moment?
A snowy day to get much needed rest--do you thank your Father for the time?
A warm meal made with love--do you tell the cook thank you?
A soft bed--do you enjoy the warmth?
A hot shower--do you marvel at such comfort?
A way to keep in touch with friends--do you send encouraging messages?
A word of encouragement--do you ponder these words in your heart?
A thank you--do you consider these gifts from your Father?
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."
~ James 1:17 ~
