Wordless Wednesday: Pay Attention to Life's Beauty

on
Breathtaking View

As a working mom it is easy to allow your things to do list to consume you. Indeed, I sometimes go through life with blinders on and fail to notice the beautiful world in which I live. Fortunately, I am sometimes forced to pause.

It also reminded me to never forget that the splendor of God is all around me. And if I stop complaining long enough to pay attention I just might get blessed!
