Eye Opener

Simple things - the smell of autumn leaves, the girgle of river water, a friend's voice - are so easily overlooked...particulary if the canoe has capsized and your belongings are being swept beyond your grasp! The sensation of being overwhelmed at times is common in the flurry of details yet to be accomplished. Your response may be....sensation? ha, it's a fact! What are we chasing so frantically? Where is our focus, truly? Take a deep breath and regain your confidence. God is! And He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). His intended course ultimately leads us down the narrow road to a closer relationship with Him and others - family, friends, neighbors, even strangers. Somewhere on that road His focus is to become our focus, perfecting our preception while honing our ability to make a difference. Don't get lost in the details. Look up and around you, beyond the list. Prepare for an eye opening God encounter with others. And give Him praise!
