Stop and Smell the Roses

I'm sure many of you have heard the saying, "Stop And Smell The Roses", it's an old clinch encouraging people to take time out of their busy day to look at the beauty of nature around them. Well I say have you ever stopped and looked around at God's awesome creation? From the butterfly to the lady bug, from brilliant Red Cardinal to the Deer in my back yard that keep eating my flowers (LOL), from the mountains to the coloring of the trees in the autumn, God's earth is awesome !!! When I'm feeling down I look up at the trees in my backyard, and the flowers in my gardern, the fruits and vegetables and I think "Wow God made all of this for our enjoyment", he truly loves us.
He knew that an apple would not only be good to our taste buds but it would make us feel good, he made honey sweetness just right , he gave us water to clean and hydrate our bodies, plants help us breath better and the cool Autumn weather is a blessing after hot summer days, the sun is at a perfect distant, and the moon lights the night just right, the rain comes and goes leaving a feritle ground, and the wind blows the seeds of harvest. Color, taste, smell, vision, hearing, feeling are a gift, and God gave us Dominion over the works of his hands, it's like someone building a beautiful castle, taking their time putting in the best flooring and lighting, state of the art appliances, in and out door kitchen, a lifetime supply of food, and then saying "okay you can have it for free, just take care of it and I will always be there to help you", ...that's love. That's what apostle John meant when he said "GOD IS LOVE".

So the next time you're feeling overwhemled by life's problems, take time to stop and look at God's creation, thank him for it and you will feel a whole lot better =)
