Nature does not rush. It reflects the beauty of God's design. The older we get, the more aware we are of how swiftly time passes. We have the same 24 hours in a day, but the sands of time seem to be falling faster in the hourglass.
Hurry and worry steal so much joy from our days. To intentionally pause and take in the beauty around us brings richness to any day. Look for the uniqueness in ordinary things. Seashells, turtle shells, and flower blooms are not all the same. The wonder of it all can easily be lost because we do not take the time to observe the ordinary. I am 100% guilty of this!
I am reminded of God's patience with us. His mercy and grace fall like rain on us daily. Do we extend the same to those around us? Do pause to testify of the goodness He brings to our ordinary days?
"The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." -2 Peter 3:9
Today, I am grateful for examples of patience.
