How Often Do We Hear How Important It Is To Smell The Roses...To Enjoy The Journey...

How often do we hear how important it is to smell the roses or to enjoy the journey…in the busyness of many of our lives…how often do we really pause long enough to smell any flowers or slow our roll enough to even notice what’s in between where we are and where we are trying to get to.

If we aren’t doing it…we certainly should…while we can. How much have we missed…how much are we missing…how much will we miss if we don’t pause…take a deep breathe…and enjoy what is…if only for a moment…every now and then.

Some of us have walked the same path for years and have never noticed some of the incredible natural artwork that God has created within this earth of which we live…sometimes we even wonder…where did that come from…or when did they build that…because we, so often…are moving too fast to notice what or when.

I recall being on walks with my son and him saying…mom, slow down and enjoy nature…I was so focused on getting my miles in. I took that same walk with my son…took his advice…slowed down and noticed the most amazing sites carved into the earth…breathtaking sites that could only come from the Creator.

Next time you are on a walk or travelling to and from…instead of focusing on the miles you’re trying to get in or the destination, itself…take in the beauty of what God has created around…for…and through us…

Take a deep breathe…now exhale…
