This season I put too much on my plate and I am spread thin. I am learning from it yet am still in the thick of the busy most days for a few more weeks.
The other day I read something that referenced this picture titled, “Grace.” This picture hung in my kitchen as a kid. A few years ago I saw it in my parent’s attic and asked if I could have it. It has been hanging in our dining room since.
Yet, like many things, just because it’s there, it doesn’t mean I pause to appreciate it’s value.
So when I read about the picture I walked into the dining room and just paused to look at it.
The simplicity.
The gratitude.
The lesson.
Grace.
I share this with you today, in case you too are in a busy season. I invite you to join me to...
pause. breathe. pray.
May we pause to look at this picture and capture its depth and richness. Even if things aren’t simple right now, may we pause long enough to see what we have to be grateful for. And as we look to the next season ahead of us, if simplicity is something we need for ourselves and/or those around us, may we do what is ours to do to make that happen.
Gratitude. Simplicity. Grace.
May they nourish our souls.
With gratitude and hope,
Shawn
