Today was the perfect Sunday morning for me. The gentle rain was softly covering the earth with a much needed drink to quench the hard ground’s thirst. I love listening to the soothing pitter pats on the roof and windows. It sounds like it is saying “Be still, be calm, and be at peace.” I feel the tensions of the week begin to slide away. Silly things that don’t matter or need my attention have no place. Nature is always telling us important matters that tend to make our lives easier and exciting, but we are too busy being lost in time of yesterday’s troubles to listen. God provides the rain, the birds that sing us awake each day, the warmth of the sun that shakes us alive emotionally as well as physically-chasing away the blues, if we just let it. The breeze that blows away the dust from our sadness, the thunder and lightning that commands our attention to the present, not days past. If we just pay attention, we discover, with astonishment, that we have everything we need. It’s the not paying attention that steers us off course. Get out of your own way and let peace and joy reign. Make it queen for the day of happiness. (This is from the post I made in my journal today, thought I would share)
