State of Being

  The words God placed on my heart this morning were, "Just Be."  Hmm, what a profound concept.  Just be.  How infrequently we take the time to just stop, look around us, and be in the moment.  There is something so peaceful about quieting your spirit and taking in a moment.  And I truly believe there is beauty to be had in each moment if we are willing to be still and enjoy it.  When I took the time to just be this morning, I found such an overwhelming sense of joy at God's goodness, the sunlight streaming through the windows, the sound of the frog's water tank splashing, the quiet breathing of dogs happily napping on couches.  Even the dust filtering down in particles through the sunlight had a way of bringing me a comforting calm as I took the time to just be.
  Are you feeling overwhelmed today?  Do you need a few moments to just be?  Often times we can find great revelation in taking the time to be still.  We can get so wrapped up in our concerns for everything we need to fit in the day, but sometimes all that's really needed is for us to just be in this moment to find clarity.  Maybe you need to "just be" today.  Maybe it's a moment to just be with your spouse or child.  Maybe you need to just be and forget those nagging problems for a few minutes.  It could mean taking time to just be and appreciate all the blessings you have that often go unnoticed or get taken for granted.
  Don't let this day fly by you without taking the time to be in the moment, even if it's only a few short moments.  You will find a sense of peace and well-being from taking the time to truly appreciate and just be.  Take a deep breath.  I'm with you!
