Stop and Enjoy the Day

`This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:34 Friends, life does get hectic in today’s chaotic times. We need to remember that God is looking for a relationship with us. He wants us to enjoy His blessings and come to Him in times of need, as well as, in times of joy. I know I don’t always take the time to enjoy His beautiful world and thank Him enough for what He has done is doing for me and my family. I may forget to thank Him but He does not forget about me and does not withhold His love. God say everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. Genesis 1:31. When we wake each morning God gives us a manifestation of His love for us—a new day! But too often we do not even notice because we live our lives in overdrive. Today our lives are filled with so many obligations and demands other people place on us—our families, our careers, our friends and even our churches—the list goes on and on. As mothers we are so busy caring for other people in our lives, we too often fail to slow down enough to take care of ourselves or see the beauty of each new day. We cook, clean, transport kids to and from various activities, just to name a few of our responsibilities. God did not intend for us to live such frantic lives. He yearns for an intimate relationship with us. Today’s Whisper: Beloved slow down and spend time with your Heavenly Father today. Embrace each new day He gives you. Enjoy His artistic hand in the glow of the beautiful sunrise of each morning. Savor the beautiful sunsets He puts in the sky each nigh for our pleasure. After all, He is our Father and He loves all His children. Today’s Prayer: Father, I know I get busy and fail to see your blessings you have given me each day. Teach me to slow down and spend time with you. Help me each morning to start the day with you and end each day with you. You have made this day for me and I will rejoice in it. Amen .
