Slow Down

Isn't it time to slow down, take in the sunset, or even the sunrise. See the beauty that has been given to us, that we are missing with our fast paced lives. We are rushing from point A to point B and then C, D, E, F, back to B to G and that is all in one day. Today instead of rushing, see the beauty that has been created for us to remember who created us, who is in our lives, who loves us unconditionally, today is that day were you pull to the side of the road to watch that crazy looking cloud pass and realize that it was there for you to marvel at the creation and to show you that you can see more when we take it in. Stop rushing and know that today is that day you need to see.

Every day is about making a new lasting memory, don't be afraid to do that today for you, for your husband or wife, for your kids or the one you are with. Take a moment to see the goodness that was created for you today. Be thankful for the little things, because it is only once in a while a big thing comes our way. Enjoy the little things, for they have been given to you today to marvel at the work of the master artist.

With that I leave you with a song that I have been listening to today:
Matt Maher
"Rise Up"

When you see the road ahead
That you've been down before
When you're halfway to nowhere
And you can't pay the toll

You're hanging onto mercy
Withered on the vine
With your feet on the ground, your head in the clouds
And your heart on the line

Open up your eyes…

You've got to rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You've got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found
My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now
It's coming down
So rise up now.

When you're told that day is over
Long after the sun goes down
And your mind it keeps on racing
At the dreams that don't come 'round

When you don't know how to surrender
Cause your whole life's been a fight
When the dark holds you and you can't break through
Cause you haven't seen the light.

Open up your eyes…

You've got to rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You've got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found
My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now
It's coming down
So rise up now.
Yeah rise up now,
Oh rise up now.

And all the lambs roar like lions
And all the prisoners breaking their chains
And all the poor find their treasure
Cause heaven is coming this way.
[x2]

Rise up, rise up
When this life has got you down
You've got to look up, look up
When you search and nothing's found
My eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now
It's coming down
So rise up now.
Yeah rise up now,
Oh rise up now.
