Take Care

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

There are days when the only way for me to find calm in the calamity is to stop and take in the beauty of nature.  Today I spent time watching the snow fall.  It was beautiful.  Amidst the turmoil that was brewing, the gently falling snow was a reminder to slow the pace and just "be".  I often get caught up in the race of the day.  Going from one place to the next in a major rush in order to accomplish all of my tasks or solve all of the problems arising.  I need moments like watching today's snow to help me remember that sometimes, simply my presence is all someone really needs and maybe even wants.  I get so wrapped up in achieving goals and crossing off the to-do list that I forget the most important part, the people.  It's just a good reminder to take care of the people in your life.  I don't just mean family, I mean work "family" and church "family" and so on.  Spend time.  Take time.  Make time...for others. That's my own reminder.  Let's take care of each other.
