Everyday we take for granted the beauty of everything around us. We pass up the rising sun, the gentle breeze, the shining sun, the green trees, the blue skies, the ocean, the birds, the bees, a drizzle, the sunset, and even sometimes the simplest smile. God gave us these wonderful gifts as a simple gesture to relieve us from the stresses or the craziness of our lives. I myself sometimes overlook at what God has put in front of me and fall short in appreciating the many blessings he has surrounded me with on a daily basis.
I sometimes complain about the chirping of birds or the bright sun shining in my room early in the morning, but really God is just letting me know it's a new day that shouldn't be wasted in bed. Whenever it rains, I fuss for the sun to come out, but really God's just giving me the opportunity to relax and give me a break from doing too much. When you're frustrated and late to work or even in a traffic jam and all you want to do is complain, God only wants you to look at the your surroundings and notice the sky above and the green he has put around you. When I can't go in the ocean because of the rough water, God is only letting me know his power and to enjoy the sun on the sand. When I misplace something, God is only helping me open my eyes to other things that I haven't payed attention to our focused on in a while. God doesn't leave us in the dust. God gives us never ending opportunities to help us in our daily lives and with his gifts we are able to see and appreciate more of life.
