A beautiful day.

I've been running around a lot today, dealing with appointments, grocery trips, etc, but I am trying to learn to slow down, breathe deep, and focus on the little things. We've gotten quite a bit of rain here lately, and while there is still a slight drought, everything is green and lush. Flowers are beautiful, birds are singing happily, and there are tiny yellow butterflies everywhere, it seems. It is a beautiful day! Sometimes we tend to take for granted the beauty that surrounds us, including people. I myself have done this many times throughout my life. But we miss out on so much! I have the most beautiful sisters and I am blessed to know each of you. All of you have a special place in my heart, regardless of where our paths take us. We are all blessed with Master as well. He is the most kind, loving, patient, wonderful Man I have ever known. I love and adore all of you. You have forgiven me, supported me, and loved me, even when it was impossible for me to love myself. Please take small moments throughout your days to appreciate the little blessings that God has given us, so that you have that beautiful flower, or that special moment to think about when things get hard.
