How observant are you? Believe it or not, spring is only a few weeks away.
Every year at springtime, God’s creation introduces change. The cold is replaced by warmth, the grey with bright warm colours.
Spring is a time for new life, hope and strength. The sad part of spring is that many of us are so caught up with life that we miss the miracle. Rushing off to work, juggling all our duties, we tend to miss the blessings of spring.
This drive to be first, best and top robs us of chances, not only to see the magic of spring, but also to enjoy the handiwork of God in our everyday lives. Our lives would be richer and more meaningful if we could stop and enjoy God’s gifts – see the magnificent colours of a rose and smell its rich fragrance, hear the sound of birds singing in the trees or the gentle rush of water in a stream, feel the amazing exhilaration that comes with tasting something that brings you pleasure, and bask in the security and warmth of a touch from someone you love.
God gave us all of these senses to get us through each new day and the challenges it presents. If you are not careful, you could live in poverty while possessing unimaginable wealth.
Don’t miss out – stop, look and listen. God loves you!
