Stopping to Catch a Breath

Oh how it's so easy to get so caught up in the rush of this life. It seems as if someone always has to be somewhere every hour of the day. Just some of our weekly involvements include: church, homeschool band practice, cleaning, dance and 4-H for my sister(although I am too old for 4-H, I still like to attend
get-togethers : D), practicing our instruments, sewing for our sewing business, cleaning, laundry, and more laundry.  Oh my!! I can't imagine how busy it will be when someday I have my own family to run around to all the different activities. Although, I wouldn't want anything else in this world. However, it's good every now and then to be able to take some time to just stop and smell the flowers. We are a constantly running society and sometimes get so wrapped up in the responsibilities of every day life, that we take things for granted. Sometimes I might get tired of running the different errands I'm asked to, but I need to stop and thank the Lord that I have parents to run errands for, and that I have a car to run them in.
I have the beautiful outdoors to thank for the inspiration today. Now, I think I will take some time to go breath in the freshly blooming flowers.
Have a great week friends
