I've come to my senses


Taste and see that the Lord is good … (Psalm 34:8)

 

Have you been there? A place in life where you rush from one same ol’ thing to the next. Monday through Friday routine of have-to’s, duty and well-established ruts. Or maybe your life has gotten soooo settled, there just doesn’t seem to be much “life” in it at all. Ho-hum existence day after day, with an occasional “high” moment.

 

Maybe it’s time for you to taste and see … and smell and feel and hear. Time to savor. Bring the ordinary times up a notch. Instead of jumping in and out of the shower: feel the warmth of the water running down your neck and back. Take a full moment to really enjoy that sensation. Watch the droplets fall from the ends of your fingers. Smell the fragrance of your soap - refreshing. Swish a little water around in your mouth - clean. Hear yourself hum a happy tune as you become refreshed and revitalized.

 

Imagine all the pleasure you could get out of every area of life if you would just apply this simple practice. Taste. See. Smell. Feel. Hear. Your life to its fullest.
