A few weeks ago I was in the car with my 5 year old god daughter and it was heavy traffic. I know you are already relating to me!! Of course, I get slightly annoyed and I said, "Uggh why does there have to be so much traffic?" Being the 5 year old that she is, she assumed I was asking her. So cleverly she says, "It's good Dot, it just means that you get to take breaks! You are driving and then you get to stop, driving and then you stop." I could not stop laughing! The innocence of a child. Not rushed, not feeling overwhelmed, not anxious, just merely enjoying the life God has given. As adults, we get so caught up in life, our to-do list, rushing to get everything done, rushing to get to our next destination. It seems we never embrace the moment God has us in. I think we should take a vow that in the midst of our busy lives we will purposely find the beauty in every moment, in every situation, in every relationship and in our everyday lives. We rush through amazing moments, all because we are trying to get it done. I challenge all of us, to embrace the traffic of life. No matter what is going on, breathe and find the beauty of that moment. I enjoyed the rest of that hour traffic with my god daughter, traffic never looked so good!!!
Love,
Dot
