Ahhhh, Saturday. I know I’ve shared before my thoughts about this day. For me at least it’s usually a little lazier morning. I get to sleep in, weekends are my down days for workouts, and things just feel calmer. Yes, there is a certain peace that comes with Saturday mornings.
This morning as I took my furbaby friend Milton for his walk around the community I just felt different than I do on a regular weekday. I listened to the sounds around me. The slight wind making the palm leaves blow, the clicking of Milton’s feet on the ground, a distant bird calling across the lake, I wish I could explain it, the peacefulness I mean.
As we walked and greeted furbaby friends like Toby and Princess and said our good mornings I realized yet again how blessed I am. I talked with God as I walked and thanked Him again for the continued blessings and gifts in my life. The simple gift of slowing down and truly listening this morning is certainly one of those gifts.
Even as I write this little blog this morning and glance out the window to see the sun coming up over the trees, things are still calm and peaceful. Why is it every morning can’t start this way? Well of course the answer to that is it can if priorities are where they should be and I choose to see each day as I do today.
In the craziness of our daily lives, I realize how difficult it is to just be at peace with things around us. It is during those crazy days when I need to remind myself of mornings like this. While juggling the balls filled with responsibilities, it’s ok to stop, breathe and listen and let the peace that Father brings take the place of the crazy.
As you begin your day my friends, I wish you that certain peace that I’ve experienced this morning. Grab your coffee and just sit and listen and observe the beauty around you. Have a great day everyone 🙂 .
2 Thessalonians 3:16
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.
