Sometimes we find ourselves living life day to day in the fast lane. We barely take time to stop and enjoy the real things in life. We rush here, we rush there, we have this appointment and that get together and then the next thing we know it, the day has past; the week has passed, the month is gone and the years later down the road we look back and wonder where time went.
I know I often find myself in the fast lane, and realize that I'm missing the real things in life. So often I miss that little smile from my son, or the loving looks in my husband's eyes that he gives me while I'm cooking or cleaning. I miss the sunrise or the sunset, or the beautiful flower that is blooming by my parking spot. I miss the birds that are cheerfully singing their praises and I miss the white fluffy clouds gliding ever so gently through the baby blue sky.
But the biggest thing I so often miss is hearing His soft, comforting voice come sailing on the wind, whispering peace and joy, love and blessings. I have realized that I get so swept up into every day life that I forget Who created the world that I live in. I forget His awesome power and I forget that He wants to be apart of my life, even if I am busy. He wants to share in my life and help me make decisions each day. He wants to be there for me in every aspect of my life, whether I'm on top of a mountain, or in the lowest depths of the sea!
Just remember, sometimes life has to be spent in the fast lane, but don't forget to walk along a path, slowly, enjoying the wonderful presence of God. Don't forget to enjoy the beauty of the field of flowers you are driving by. Don't forget to enjoy opening the windows and hearing the birds singing. Don't forget to allow the peace of God to wash over you. Don't forget to listen to His still soft voice.
Blessings~
This is a good reminder. :-)
