[This is] a time when we really don't see many miraculous things. Maybe we do. Maybe they're all right there around us every day, we just don't know where to look. Sometimes life is about slowing down and noticing all the amazing things that happen around you, but you're just way to busy to notice anything. The way the clouds saunter across the violet sky right before dawn (or right after dusk, if you can't get up early enough to see the sky before dawn). The way the wind whistles a chorus through the trees that you can only hear when you stop and listen. It's not that unusual, when everything is beautiful. It's just another ordinary miracle today. The sky knows when it's time to snow. Don't need to teach a seed to grow. It's just another ordinary miracle today. Even if we see things every day, it's so easy to just breeze over them. Because we're too busy. Too preoccupied to notice all those beautiful things that God placed in this world to give us pleasure. He specifically designed this world to be beautiful. Why? So we could enjoy it. The colors, the sounds, the breezes, the warmth, the frigid cold. Everything was put in place to make our lives beautiful and filled with joy. But if we just ignore them and just take them for granted, it's just like we're rejecting the gift he gave us. Life is like a gift, they say. Wrapped up for you every day...The sun comes out and shines so bright and disappears again at night. It's just another ordinary miracle today. Take time to just enjoy life. Soak in all the beautiful little aspects of this world he designed. Soak in the joy that was meant to occur as a result of slowing down. I blogged about an activity that relates to this and ties this concept in and brings it to a whole new level. Read about it here. All the lyrics quoted here are from Ordinary Miracle by Sarah McLachlan.

I see your point of view, it's hard to slow down sometimes.

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
