blind to the beauty

I recently sat at a restaurant overlooking the ocean.  The view was spectacular.  Spellbinding.  Awesome.  I asked the server what it was like to have such a view every day when you come to work.  She replied apologetically that she doesn’t even see it anymore.  Wow.  I am around the beauty so much, that I don’t even see it anymore. 

We both agreed that this was sad.

What beauty are you around every day that you no longer see?  A tree?  A flower?  A home?  A spouse?  How sad. 

Let’s agree to open our eyes.  To see what is.  To see the gifts of today.  The gifts that God has given to us.

It’s a beautiful day in God’s world, be sure to see the good.
