I was reminded today how necessary it is to pause & simply observe the beauty around us. It sounds so simple but in the hurried pace of our lives we often forget to look around. The beauty I see when I stop to look for it refocuses me every time. It reminds me that we serve a good & loving God who could have made all of the leaves green or brown or red all year round. But instead, He chose the beauty of contrast & change. A quick 30 minute walk was all it took to find beauty today…

Have you paused for beauty lately?
