Tonight I was reminded to take time away from our busy schedules. I think many of times we get in the routine of our busy lives. Where we are constantly thinking about what to do next or what to do tomorrow. We are constantly checking off of our checklist what we did or need to do. We often forget to take time to seek the beauty of today or take a step back to see where we are in life and who is surrounding us.
Lately, I have been so caught up with my credential, constantly doing homework or thinking what I need to do. I stress out in times I shouldn't and get annoyed when i shouldn't just because I am thinking about what to do next and how I need to do it right now!! Sometimes we just need to STOP. Put things on pause and enjoy the beautiful things that God has granted you.
Tonight, my family got together for a family dinner. It allowed time for me to pause and look around at my family members and think how each one fulfills my life. We got to reminisce on old memories and laugh at the things we used to do as a child. We got to have conversations about our life and truly connect with one another. Here I was looking at three generations who have filled my life with endless amounts of support, love, and joy. I allowed myself to pause and think what this life is really about. It is about community with one another and having a break from the constant flow of this life to laugh and love.
Yes, you and i both have work tomorrow. we have many more items to check off our list but you know what you and i need to STOP and remember why God put us here on this earth. Those things on our checklist will get done but in the meantime stop and reflect on your life lately. look at the individuals around you and invest your life in them, find the joy and beauty of this day, store it in your heart for when you are busy and stressed you can think about the beauty around you.
Tonight I allowed myself to pause and capture the bliss and joy my family brings me & how no matter what we can sit down at a family dinner and invest in each others lives with a lot of laughter.
God has created beautiful things around you...your only role is to stop and think what those beautiful things are and store it in your heart.
