Be Still

I love sunrises and sunsets (I must admit I don't see a lot of sunrises).  The other night the sun was setting as my daughter and I were rushing from Target, to get home to start dinner, to get middle kid to basketball practice.  But the sunset was amazing (much better than this cruddy phone picture is showing).  And I knew that we needed to drive somewhere that we could appreciate it a little better, so we did.  And we sat for a few minutes in quiet, appreciating God's handiwork, breathing and thanking Him.  I was reminded that in this busy season, we need to take time to simply be still and know that no matter what craziness is going on in our lives, He was, is and always will be God!  I needed that reminder, especially as we wait for some health news about my husband.  In case anyone else out there needs that reminder too, I had to share.

    It's hard to remember to take a moment for Him, and I'm always grateful for little reminders like a bird at the window or a beautiful sunset. Hugs.

    Thanks for the reminder; a beautiful sunset always slows me down too. There's no artist that can create a scene as beautiful as our heavenly Father.
