So sometimes, God just wants us to notice Him... or maybe it's not even that, but the the other way around - ALL the time, we just need to notice God. Stop our busy lives. Sit down on a bench or ledge or table outside, and notice. Admire, appreciate, acknowledge. Not because God needs our confirmation, or is just sitting around waiting for compliments (Good job, God - you made something beautiful...), but because he is worthy, because what He's made IS beautiful, maybe even because he made it for us to enjoy. I sat down today for only a few minutes, and I think we should all do that more often. God is amazing. So often we walk right on by... step on all the leaves, ignore the birdsongs, and m iss the beauty, but it's there. So if you have time, find a spot. Take time to thank Jesus for the beauty that he's created. Enjoy the view, the sights and the sounds. Be amazed at the incredible detail that he's put into everything around you. Be amazed that he put so much more detail into creating you, and all the people walking by. They're walking by, and maybe they're missing it all, too...
found this in an old facebook note... looks like i should be taking my own advice ;-/
