Enjoying Life is a Gift!
Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. –Philippians 4:6,7
Sometimes I work too hard and take life too seriously. Last week, I noticed such a beautiful sunset and thought how long it had been since I had really even taken the time to LOOK at one.
I often worry too much. This usually takes place at night…when I should be sleeping. Ug. I am going over scriptures more now than I did a few year ago, so at least I am accomplishing something. (There are certainly worse things than meditation and memorization induced from worry!)
Life is too short. Sometimes we need to sit back and enjoy God’s gifts to us: the laughter of a child, a wonderful aroma of bread baking, the presence of a friend. Drink it in. Take time and be intentional to enjoy the little things.
Ask God today for His peace. Ask Him for the grace to guard your mind and heart.
Practice Thankfulness. Ask God for the gift of enjoying life!
His peace transcends ALL understanding.
Blessings,
Thora
I love this Thora. I see incredible sunsets at the airport. Thank God for such beautiful moments.
Right on. Good reminder.
Thank you for this Thora. It certainly holds true for me. I will be sure to enjoy life more, starting with my children’s laughter.
