Shine Bright

Happy summer friends☀️

On my walk today with Georgia the bugs were everywhere. As I swatted them away I started to laugh. I have been so ready for summer but with it comes bugs. I know it sounds silly but what I am getting at is every season has something we could complain about.

The winter is too cold.
The spring too rainy.
The summer too buggy.
The fall too short.

The same is true for the seasons of life, right?

I invite you to join me to...

Pause. Breathe. Pray.

May we enter this new season with new eyes. Rather than seeing what is wrong, may we seek all there is to be grateful for. Yes, there will always be something to complain about but our time and energy are better spent on seeing the good in the season we are in. I know it is easy to get tangled in the webs of complaining, I do it myself. But it gets me wrapped up and weighed down where there is no forward momentum.

Complaining keeps me stuck.
In gratitude there is freedom.

So may we move forward in this day and season without complaining. Instead, may we seek what is good so the darkness grows small and the light shines brighter, and brighter ☀️🙏💕

With love and hope,
Shawn
