Well it's a rainy day in LA :( I know that growing up in Minnesota, March was always such a long month because everyone wants to get rid of the cold, icky weather and have nice warm spring weather. However, LA is supposed to be all sunshine and beautiful by now; I'm not supposed to be thinking these "ready for nasty weather to be gone" kind of thoughts! Come on now....bring on the SUN!
Anyway, because of the rain I am cooped up inside. It does force me to have some peaceful time to myself, which I believe is such a necessary part of my day, so I guess I can't complain. I have come to notice more and more just how important it is in American culture and lifestyle to search out and embrace those quiet moments in life. It's all a part of training ourselves to intentionally slow down because if we don't consciously do it, it will never happen. So I'm enjoying the peacefulness of my room with the rain coming down outside. Even in the midst of gloomy or nasty weather, there is always a little bit of beauty and serenity to be found in it, so I take moments like these as little gifts from God to enjoy.
Hope you can find peace in the little things around you and thank God for placing them there! Just make sure you don't miss them!
