Stop and smell the roses!

I have recently been reminded in many different ways how important it is to be grateful. Today Cody asked me to blow bubbles with him. So, we went out on the back deck and blew bubbles together. I was so grateful to just sit there with him and watch his enjoyment as we both blew bubbles into the wind. It is amazing how a child gets so much enjoyment out of something so simple. It was a good reminder to me that life doesn't have to be complicated. We don't have to run around like ants in an anthill all the time. Sometimes we just need to sit down and be grateful for the things we have in our lives and the people God has given us in our lives. As the saying goes, "Stop and smell the roses."
