Soak It In!

One of the best moments is watching the sunrise over a lake and one of my favorite times doing this was in college, my roommate and I got up really early one crisp Spring morning and walked several blocks from school down to the shore of Lake Michigan.  We found a bench and just sat and waited for the sun to rise over Lake Michigan.  The lake was quiet that morning and we were quiet soaking in each and every moment.  As the sun rose and it started to warm up I remember thinking that I love how the sun felt on my face. I looked toward the sun soaking it in as much as I could before moving on with the rest of my day.

Moments, each and every one are precious and I should soak them all in.  Why do I let distractions take me away from soaking up the moments with family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors? 

These moments are like the sunrise for what they can do for my soul. They can warm me up from the inside out. I wish I didn't hurry around so much and miss out on these moments.  The moments of laughter, play, quiet reflection, and deep conversations are things that need to be treasured and soaked in.

Insight for today: Make every effort to soak in the precious moments and make time for them!
