We all do it....we get caught up in the NOISE of life, the hustle and bustle of crazy chaotic mornings, rushing to get everyone dressed, fed, prepared for the day and out the door, the rush of traffic, maybe the spilled coffee, or accident that made you late for work........the rush after work to get home and fed in time to rush off to the next 'thing' and the scramble to get the house tidied when finally home, everyone ready and washed up for bed just to start the same old craziness again the next day.
I'm exhausted just thinking about it......(and im so thankful that this isn't my crazy life anymore)......
Just think of all the beautiful, amazing, miraculous moments that you're missing in the midst of that chaos. The autopilot mode that we get into because we simply don't have the time, take the time, or make the time to enjoy the wonderment and amazement before us.
When's the last time you truly lived in THE MOMENT and SAW what was happening right before your eyes???? The young child who helped the old woman up who dropped her groceries....the bumble bee feeding off of a flower, the courteous driver who let you in, the child laughing over something that clearly is absolutely hilarious to them, the gentleman who held the door for you, or the new growth in your freshly planted garden.......what about the moment your child called you with so much excitement to share a special moment with you, but you were so busy rushing to get the next thing done that you brushed it off (im in tears writing this, cause I am so guilty of brushing the kids off while I work or take on the next task).
These are the moments, the little things, that make life SO BIG......the ones that we sometimes take for granted and then wonder why we are lacking some simple form of happiness in our lives.
THESE are the moments that MATTER....among all the craziness of what NEEDS to be done.....we miss so many precious moments that create LIFE.
TODAY I challenge you to SLOW DOWN.....and SEE what's right in front of you. The LITTLE things that make life SO BIG.
