Hello Friend,
Today I’m filling my mom shoes and spending time with my 6-year-old daughter. An unplanned trip to the doctor meant taking her out for lunch (take-out) and play time with Mommy (shortly).
In the spirit of physically looking up and not missing out on the important people God has gifted us with, I’m sharing a video I saw on YouTube. You may have seen it. I’m occasionally guilty in getting sucked into electronics so it hit me personally.
BUT — !
My hope is that you will NOT feel guilty but instead be encouraged at all the opportunities to physically look up and enjoy the moment. To enjoy the gorgeous sunrise or sunset — every day they’re different, I told my kids this morning on the way to school. To enjoy the people God puts in our lives. So many joys await!
The unplanned trip to the doctor was God’s perfect plan for us today. I am asking God to dearly bless you, my friend, and to recognize the blessings for what they are. With that — back to my daughter.
Looking up sometimes,
Pearl
Hi Pearl, can you tell me how I can post this video to my face book page? My daughter will see it there and then share with her hubby. It is an important message to hear.
Kim, I also sent you a message on facebook. There should be a curved arrow in the upper right corner as you’re watching the YouTube clip. (May need to pause the video in order to see it.) Clicking it should show options to share, including FB. Let me know if you run into any difficulties!
Great video and wonderful reminders! Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad if it encouraged you, Riley! There’s definitely a place for both electronics and face-to-face. Knowing which time is which can be the tricky part!
Oh, the importance of Presence! Thank you for the reminder!
Hi Maureen! I enjoyed your presence immensely this weekend at Breathe! So glad to meet you. 🙂
