I had the privilege of taking my youngest niece to pre-school this morning. It had been a long night. My sister called last evening to say that one of my nieces had broken her arm. We all immediately snapped into action; picking up kids, getting them tended to, sitting in the ER, calling relatives, waiting on pain meds, being with my sister and brother-in-law. Crazy night. This morning I was on car pool duty so Cara could be home with Brylee. As usually, it seemed like the morning moments flew by until we were completely out of them and running behind!
I had gotten all of the older children dropped off and was headed to town to get Willis (ok Laynee, but she's Willis to me :)) to school. On the way, I made at least 3 phone calls and had already re-arranged my schedule for the day. Life and its crazy busy -ness can over take me sometimes.
Just as we hurriedly pulled up to our destination...3 year old Willis said, "Look Aunt Candy at that beautiful bird on the light pole." Can I tell you that that simple observation by a child changed my day? Immediately I was reminded of a topic that the Lord and I have covered hundreds of times...enjoy your life. Lift up your head. Appreciate the provision and gifts from the hand of the Father. Breathe fresh air. Watch children play. Laugh. Live.
Praying that you notice the bird on your light pole today.
