THE GIFT OF NOTICING

I want to encourage you to do what I am disciplining myself to do, and that is, to cultivate the "Gift of noticing". In other words, to look for God's presence and grace in the everyday things we experience but don't make the connection to God.

Notice things like the beauty of creation, the sound of birds singing, the smile of a spouse or friend, the smell and taste of good food, the pleasure of a good book or song. And so much more. When we work at noticing, we begin to "see" more, to appreciate more, and to enjoy more.
