For a while now I have disciplined myself to focus on what is around me when I am walking anywhere instead of mulling over what I have to do or what problems have to be solved. I look at the trees, listen to the birds and notice seasonal changes.
On Saturday as I walked the mile to town I decided to see what colour there was. Mainly green and lots of brown and red leaves on the ground. Then I spied this
A few bright yellow berries which had escaped the birds. It is amazing what you notice when you are really focused and it is so relaxing.
You're right, we can be so wrapped up in our own thoughts and troubles we forget to take notice of the beauty of Jehovah's creation. Best, Jane xx
ReplyDeleteYes and when we do notice His beauty it really encourages us.
DeleteThat is a good idea and would you believe, just this morning I practiced doing that.
ReplyDeleteyes it takes practice doesn't it?
DeleteThanks for inspiring me to get out in the farmyard more. I get so much like a bear in winter and hibernate. Nice to meet you! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you too. It's tempting to stay in but we feel so much better for getting out.
