Pausing for Grace

I think about this often. 

Many do not allow themselves to witness Grace. Life is black or white; mapped out and planned. We live in a world that is non-stop to the point that we are missing moments of beauty daily.

When was the last time you woke early to watch the sunrise?
Do you ever consider rising 30 minutes early to take a walk around the neighborhood as the birds are waking and the serene calm consumes you?
When you get off of work with the day's stress on your shoulders do you pick up your device to scrolling doom?
When the night falls are you in front of the television zoning out?

There are times when we need those comforts; but allowing for Grace is important. Balance is key. When we feed all parts of our minds and souls, we are able to allow for the Grace which holds hidden gifts.

Just for today, try something different.

​Allow for Grace.
