Opening my eyes

This morning I was blown away about how amazing the colors of the skyline looked this morning.  Bright blues, oranges and pinks...the sunrise was breath-taking.  Now if you watch Seinfeld religiously then you would consider breath-taking as ugly...I refer breath-taking to be awesome in this post just fyi :)  While I was driving to work and being mesmerized by the sky a song came on the radio that fit the mood perfectly.  I'm a country girl at heart so it's no surprise that I have the country station on 24/7.  The song 'I saw God today' came on by George Strait. Right then and there I received a much needed reminder...I was seeing God right in front of me and all of his amazing-ness!  Although not in his humanly form I knew God was showing me something this morning...a sign to relax, to pay more attention to whats around me and Him and lastly to see that he is everywhere, we just have to open our eyes to see them.  He shows his presence everywhere, the ground beneath our feet, the trees, the air, the people...We just have to open our eyes to see them.  I know from experience that life gets in the way and we are so caught up in ourselves and whats around us we forget the finer things in life and the beauty that surrounds us.  It takes reminders like sunrises to set us back on track. So I hope we all take a time to relax today and everyday to see the beauty of what around us, God is doing things :)
