Slow Down

slow down 

I can hear it so clear, the voice of the Lord to me.... "Millie, just slow down, smell the roses... enjoy my creation... enjoy me." This is why I love photography so, when I have a camera in my hand and I am walking around capturing His creation nothing else matters to me but Him.

I often wonder how people go through life in such a rush, do they ever get to see the beauty in life? God's thumbprint is all around us, His creation tells us who He is! All we have to do is look and enjoy!

I enjoy music by Jack Johson, his songs talk about the world we live in and his newest Cd has a song titled, Better Together. One of the versus in this song reminds me of how I feel about God... it goes like this...

"And all these moments just might find there way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light hits
Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too, too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between
Bith only two, just me and you, not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be, we'll sit beneath the mango tree now"

When I hear this song I am encourgaed to relax and enjoy life because it is always better when we're together meaning me and the Lord!

Don't let every day pass you by without sitting under the mango tree... stop and smell the roses... whatever old phrase you choose to coin... just slow down... Pretend like everyday is the weekend with Him!
