Light a candle.
Then, actually sit down to breathe it's calming scent inside you.
Next, let that natural morning light come in.
And enjoy it.
Make a hot drink. And actually notice the way it soothes the morning throat.
And drink it until you see the bottom of the cup.
Open up the windows.
And look through them for awhile.
Open up the door.
And let the newly made air into your body.
This is morning time.
Take in fresh.
Take in new.
Morning, there is something about you.
Maybe its the temporarily rested brain I have for a few moments as I sit and drink something warm.
Maybe its that I know, restless sleep or not, that cool crisp air will still settle within my body every morning.
And I'll breath it back out to take in a bit more.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
A new day has come.
And no matter how many overwhelming tasks may fill it,
Its a fresh start.
And I'll take this day, one moment at a time.
Some years, its one week at a time.
Some weeks, its one day at a time.
Some days, its one hour at a time.
And even some hours, I pace myself and if I have to, I'll take one minute at a time.
Its okay to slice up the day into however many increments needed to accomplish the day.
God has given us time for a reason.
Maybe its because we're human.
Maybe its because he understood that without minutes, hours, days, sunrises and sunsets, we would become overwhelmed.
He is good. So good and so knowing about the inner workings of our own minds that He knew just how to set time in it's perfect cycle for us to accomplish this life.
Take advantage of His goodness.
Take a minute at a time if you have to in some moments.
Choose to breathe in and out.
Take in the start of each day.
And remind yourself,
He is here.
Inhale.
Exhale.
A sigh a relief. Maybe several sighs of relief today.
Because somedays, I need more reminders than others of his presence.
Just like the morning consistently provides a fresh start.
He is here.
So breathe, and take Him with you every second at a time.
I felt that.
