Pause to appreciate who

and what is around you.

———

On our family hikes Matt is usually at the back. It’s not that he can’t go faster, but Matt is the one who pauses to appreciate everything around us.

He pauses to stand on the rocks and look around.

He pauses to touch the water.

He pauses to say hi to the other hikers going the opposite way and lets them know of what they can expect ahead of them.

He pauses to pick me a flower.

He pauses often to appreciate who and what is around him.

I invite you to join me to…

pause. breathe. pray.

May we too pause to appreciate who and what is around us today. We may not get where we are going as fast, yet we will be more likely to see the gifts God has placed for us along the way.

With love and hope,

Shawn
