Whenever I hear the song of a bird,
Or look at the blue, blue sky,
Whenever I feel the rain on my face
or the wind as it rushes by,
Whenever I touch a velvet rose
or walk by our lilac tree;
I'm so glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heavenly Father created for me.
He gave me my eyes that I might see
the color of butterfly wings.
He gave me my ears that I might hear
the magical sound of things.
He gave me my life, my mind, my heart:
I thank him reverently
For all his creations of which I'm a part.
Yes...I know Heavenly Father loves me.
I love the precious pauses in life! One does not always have to be doing...sometimes it is wonderful just to BE. To live fully in the present moment...To pause and just BE! It is in the 'being' that I feel close to heaven. It is in the being that I feel encircled in the arms of my Heavenly Fathers love. For right now stop what you are doing, 'pause' for a moment, go outside and look around you. What do you see? what do you hear? What do you smell? what do you touch? What do you feel? There are so many wonders and joys to behold if we will just take time to pause! God paints such amazing sunrises and sunsets for those who are willing to take time to 'pause'... to just look. His creations are miraculous gifts of love! God whispers his love to us through a gentle summer breeze, the song of a bird, the chirping of a cricket. He shows his love in detail through a beautiful flower, a colored rainbow and a bright orange sunset after a warm summer rain. When was the last time you 'paused' and really took the time to look, listen, smell and enjoy the precious moment of just being... If it's been awhile, take a much needed 'pause' and feel encircled in the arms of heavens love. Me? I'm going to enjoy my precious 'pause' and go outside to play in the dirt! Are you coming?!
