It stacks up...
The minutes, the hours, the days---
Before we know it we have made it through the exact days we have dreaded or fretted over.
We pack the days full with high expectations and work that must get done.
The work is good-the feeling of accomplishment and progress is important,
but!
so is being still!
Breathing and being thankful for that breath-
Smiling :)
and being thankful for joy!
Seeing God's creation and knowing I am HIS! and HE is MINE!

Take a minute- maybe more...
and look around or hey, close your eyes!
Either way take it in. Take in the moment.
Feel the arms of the Lord wrap around you. Lean into your heavenly Father's hug.
All of our suffering will be but a faded memory once we are in his presence and in glory.
He is enough-
enough for all of our pain...
for all of our sorrows....
He is all we need for life!
He is our redemption... and our saving grace.
Thank you Lord for reminding me to breathe...
Thank you for giving me clarity and focus.
I can't do this without- and I am tired of trying.
You are all I need.
All I want...
thank you for your gift of life!

Psalm 27:4
"The one thing I ask of the Lord- the things I seek the most- is to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life, delighting in the Lords perfections and meditating in his Temple."
