All Saints Lutheran Church Welcomes You!

Proverbs 14:30 (NIV):
“A heart at peace gives life to the body,

I recently heard that beauty deserves just as much attention as worry. In the morning give your attention to one beautiful thing. It reminds your body that there is more in life than the headlines and to do lists.

I like to ponder and so ponder I did. Then I set up a treasure hunt for myself each morning to find one beautiful thing to focus on before the onslaught of news and my to-do list got the better of me.

There is incredible value in the ordinary, in noticing them and focusing on that one thing for five minutes while I have my tea. It has been like finding treasure in my own back yard. The way the sunlight streams into the window, the ability to open those windows finally and have fresh, cool air to breathe. The way my favorite tea cup fits into my hand. Simple things but giving attention to them creates a spark of gratitude in me that I hope you take the time to find as well.

This week please look for the small things, open your heart to recognize them for the big things they really are, then thank our amazing God for not only those gifts but also for the eyes to see them.
