Simple Joy Is Good

I was walking along the Peace River that you see in the photo and I felt prompted to stop.

"Don't Just check 'walking' off of your list of things to do. Pay attention. Look. Be present and actually appreciate this moment and the beauty that you see."

So I stood there listening to some of my favorite music. I noticed the sun shining on the palm trees and the beautiful river. And darn it, I hate to admit it, but tears came to my eyes. (Rugged, manly, tough guys aren't supposed to do that.)

I thought, "Lord, thank you for giving me a glimpse of You in the wonder of your creation. Thank you for the gift of this moment."

Simple joy is good.
