Did You Notice It?

Have you ever noticed how we miss out on moments of awe because we are too caught up in our daily routines?

It seems that once we have the opportunity to finally pause, we can see beauty in nature or other human beings. We see the beauty and admire the creator.

My husband and I recently enjoyed a South African trip of a lifetime which included a 6-day safari. The safari rides were each day at 6AM and 4PM. Like all the others in our group, we thought we would be skipping some of the rides as surely we would see the same things after awhile.

Nature never disappointed us ... every ride we saw something more amazing than the last! We never missed a ride for fear of what we would miss. It was a wake-up call to me for everyday living. What have I missed in my surroundings at home by taking things for granted and thinking I have seen it all before? Approach each day with the enthusiasm to pause and see what nature has in store for you today!

This Week's Focus:

This week, take a moment each day to just pause and look around. You'll see what a wonderful artist our creator is if you take time to pause.
