Vol. 20 No. 48 | December 3, 20
A really good cup of coffee…and time to enjoy it.
A quiet meal with your spouse in a nice restaurant.
A peaceful drive through the hills on a clear autumn day.
Taking a moment to enjoy the sunset or sunrise.
Having a relaxed breakfast with your children and grandchildren.
An honest, heartfelt conversation about life’s highs and lows.
Watching your favorite team win a game.
Catching up with a friend you’ve not heard from in a while.
Finishing the workweek knowing you’ve done your job well.
Sleeping in.
Walking through the neighborhood at twilight.
Participating in a spirited, meaningful worship experience.
These are a few simple pleasures that make my life more enjoyable. Even when life gets overwhelmingly busy, I try to include at least one of these blessings into my day or week.
And, I try to remember the wisdom of these words:
And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. (Italics mine) (1 Thessalonians 4:10-12, NIV)
I encourage you to make your own list of simple pleasures (or borrow some of mine).
And, please, give yourself the gift of making time to enjoy them.
