Have you ever just stopped at the end of the day and thought, “Wow… I am so blessed”? And felt completely blown away by all that God has given you? 🤍
I’ve noticed that when I’m spending more time in God’s Word, focused on Him, and in prayer, I see those blessings so much more clearly. But when I focus on the negative, it’s easy to let the hard things overshadow all the good.
Lately, I’ve been noticing this in my garden. I’ve been pulling out the old, tired flowers while noticing the fresh blooms coming in. And at this point in the summer, there are definitely more areas that aren’t thriving than I’d like to see! 😂 It’s easy to focus on those areas instead of all the beauty growing right in front of me.
But tonight, I got to plant seedlings and pick sunflowers with my youngest, and I found myself thinking about just how blessed I am. 🌻
Maybe life is like that, too. Sometimes we focus so much on what needs tending to that we miss what God is already growing.
Tonight, I’m choosing to slow down, notice the blooms, cherish the little moments, and be thankful for the beauty He’s given me.❤️
