EVERYTHING TO ENJOY

1Timothy 6:17 …God richly gives us everything to enjoy.

I just wanted to share this picture of a flower we found hanging low in a hedge down the road. It is so beautiful and I didn’t recognise it but it made me think of bridal bouquets it was so stunning. Have a closer look if you can and tell me what it might be. It looked like hundreds of pearls had been sewn on!

It’s lovely to stop and enjoy the beauty God has provided for us. We can be so busy, or caught up in the media or sad stories we hear from our friends, they can begin to make us feel low. But one way to lift our spirits is to look at the beauty around us.The clouds were amazing to watch here last night.

God gave us everything to enjoy, not to ignore! It’s sad to see people who are so busy looking at their phones they miss out on what is happening around them! A few days ago I came across a tiny baby ladybird which I’ve never seen before and so enjoyed counting its spots! Then my granddaughter found a baby starfish on holiday. What a find!

Even walking by peoples’ gardens it’s lovely to stop and admire their flowers with each changing season and really ‘see’ them. 

So today is just a nudge to take a few minutes in our busy day to enjoy what’s around us and recognise what God has provided, whether it’s lovely clouds, or a bird song, or even a pretty weed - if it’s pretty, then we can enjoy it.😊 Don’t be too busy to stop and smell the roses, as they say!

John 10:10 …My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. God wants us to enjoy being alive with all He’s provided for our enjoyment so let’s enjoy noticing what’s He’s put in our day today and share it in the comments if you like.😊
