In the rush of life take time to smell the roses

I feel like too often we all rush, way too much.

Do you ever notice the sunset, it's beautiful as you drive into my apartment complex- perfect view of the horizon.

Spring time approaching brings many beautiful colors..If you live in athens, have you seen the blossoming tree on the corner of Milledge and Baxter that is so pink and vibrant? (I plan on taking a picture next week)

To ease the stress, take some time to rest in the presence of the Lord...

How about venturing to the Botans, going down the purple trail and laying on the rocks? You see a perfect view of the river, it's serene, peaceful... You could also take the white trail, walk for a bit and then find the huge rocks near the stream, perfect for reading on.

If you sit at Two Story coffeehouse on a warm day, upstairs, with the windows opened it can ease any studying.

But if its raining go to the prayer chapel , and listen to the rain fall from the secret window.

There is a bench in the founders garden near bushes full of magnificent flowers that start to bloom around this time. Take an afternoon to go there and explore.

If it's a Wednesday you should get an energy boost from Expresso Royale and enjoy a $2 latte :)

After that Tribe Issachar is another great place to go to rest, pray and just get away from things.

Take time to rest, enjoy life, dance, smile, read, pray....rejuvenate. God has so much in store for you this spring, you don't want to miss the simple blessings.
