Value the moments



For the last couple of days family and friend have gathered together to color. I began to join and slowly i realized what a calming and uplifting moment it was for my soul. I felt calm and spiritualy re-freshed. i realized then that iwas taking those moments for granted. it was then that i decided that coloring is a wondeful hobby

Sometimes our days can be so full and busy that we forget how fragile life really is. It’s easy to allow little things to creep in and steal our peace and joy. Maybe something doesn’t go our way or someone says something upsetting. Even traffic can cause us to lose focus if we let it. We have to remember that each day is a gift. If we choose to focus on what’s wrong, we’ll miss the beauty that each day has to offer.

I encourage you today; don’t let the precious moments of life pass you by. Don’t wait for holidays and birthdays to show people that you care. Remember, each day is unique and irreplaceable. You have been given time that can be invested or wasted; hours that can be used or misused. That’s why the psalmist prayed to God, “Teach us to number our days.”



HAPPY HOLIDAYS
19 DAYS LEFT UNTIL CHRISTMASS LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN.

  2. As the first snow blanketed our world with new hope I was reminded of the gentle beauty and promise. I am most alive in Winter as I embrace the naked landscape and settle in to the gray reflective season of hope.
    Love to you and all you share
