Take that picture of the sky,

The one with the sunset that catches your eye,

Even if theres telephone pole lines

It’s not silly if it makes you smile.

Light those candles that smell like spring,

Look for joy in the little things.

The mundane moments, the same old life,

You only get to live it one time.

The smell of coffee, the pouring rain,

The way the sun spills through the window pane.

These little gifts throughout the day

Are whispers from the Lord that say,

“I gave you life, I love you so. Here are small things to let you know,

That you are created, beautifully designed. Fully loved, you are mine.”

So next time a sunset catches your eye, don’t let that moment pass you by.

Soak in the sunshine, breathe in the air,

Remember those gifts come from a God that cares.

So take that picture of the sky, the one with the sunset that catches your eye.

Even if you’ve taken it a million times, it’s not silly if it makes you smile.
