Simple Beauty

Today, I want to think God for the little things. For a good cup of coffee. For a close parking spot. For the smile of a passing peer. For a trail run with a great friend. For the warmth of a 73 degree today. In all the hustle and bustle of tests, homework, running, etc, sometimes I forget about the small things that make life happy. God made today exquisite in Clemson, South Carolina. The sky is strikingly blue. The sun is oozing warmth. The people are pleasantly smiling. Today, I will put all worries, anxieties, and discouragements aside, and I will delicately examine all of the little things that make today wonderful. I pray that all of you will do the same. Even if you aren't in Clemson, or even if it's not a beautiful day outside, I pray that you will thank God for the simple things. If you are at a loss for words, please join me in my prayer:

Heavenly Father. Thank you for this glorious day. I pray that you will help me to soak up every ounce of simple beauty that you have blessed me with today. I pray for the time to take a step back from this rushed world, simply to awe at all that you have created with Your hands. I thank You for reminding me of how powerful and majestic You are. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.

Now, get off your computers and go enjoy the world today. Breathe in the day :)
