Taking Time to Savor our Lavish World

It’s time to stop…

Take a deep breath…

Consider the things for which you are thankful…

So many…

  • For me, I live on a hundred acre ranchette. It’s simple and rural, but lavish with natural wonders…
  • Hedgerows of trees that whisper in the wind
  • Nests under our eaves filled with swallows that keep our population of mosquitos down in the summer
  • Sunrises that burst forth most mornings in dramatic pinks and oranges and purples
  • Cattle grazing peacefully as they walk a predictable path around the pasture each day
  • Stars that spread across the universe like millions of diamonds in the sky
  • My porch swing that beckons me to sit and savor my morning coffee

It seems that all these things have a natural order and rhythm.

I hope you take time during this season of gratitude, to carve out a moment away from the stresses.

Look around.

Become aware of the simple things so easily available to you.

Take a deep breath… or two.

And open your heart in gratitude to Life. It’s never perfect and sometimes very hard.

And yet… there is so much to thank God for in the natural order.

This is the season to remember and savor those things.
