"Just live"

So much we take for granted.
So much that passes us by.
So much that God has given us, but we are to blind to see.
We are to busy to open our eyes and see the portrait God has painted for us.
A simple dandy lion, so beautiful, yet we call it a weed.
The subtle changes of the fall leaves.
A butterfly with such extravagant colors.
The cool spring breeze.
The warmth from the sun in the summer.
The Innocent laughter of children, if only we could see as they see.
The powdery, white blanket of snow in the winter.
So much beauty and wonder if only we weren't blinded.
We might could see the magnificent, rich colors that God has painted.
The smell of honeysuckles.
The sound of the crash of the ocean waves.
The feel of the sand under our feet.
Life is just to much of a whirlwind for us to notice.
If only we could slow down and just breathe.
Otherwise before we know it our journey on earth will have passed us by.
