What Are You Missing?
Do you have days that get filled with so many activities and projects that you feel as if you are rushing from one item to the next? Maybe it is just our schedule…… although I think we all need reminded occasionally of the important things in our lives. It is rather easy to fill your day with appointments, projects, and errands that need to be done both in our personal and professional lives. Then there are days that unexpected emergencies pop up and demand our attention as well…..finishing an extra project at work with a co-worker that has a deadline, taking a sick child to the Doctor, visiting a friend that needs encouragement, a flat tire on the vehicle you are driving, and so many more.
During these busy days I want to encourage you to remember those things that you are truly passionate about and the people in your life who are important to you. We miss out on so many blessings in our lives because we do not pause long enough to notice and appreciate them. I am blessed beyond measure with a loving husband, two beautiful daughters, amazing friends, a great business that helps others, comfortable home, food to eat, clothes to wear, and so much more. However, on those rushed days it is harder to relax and be content even with the many blessings in my life because the little issues seem bigger and more stressful. On those days it is even more critical that I focus any extra energy I have on that which is truly valuable. It is amazing how quickly a thankful heart can lift your spirits.
My heart goes out to so many who are going through a tough season in their lives right now. May you be encouraged and know that no matter what your current circumstance may be we all have something to be thankful for in our lives. As we go into the weekend think about what you are thankful for and pause for a moment to focus on that instead of all the inconveniences of life. Relax and enjoy an incredible weekend focusing on your passions and the people in your life. What are your passions? Who are you thankful in your life?
