What a wonderful world...

It seems that this phrase is used to reminisce about the world we used to know instead of the one that we are blessed to wake up to. But stop to think for just a moment abut the gifts that He gives us daily.  What a gift giver our Lord is! From the sunrise to the glow of the stars to the sound of a child's laughter.  He has filled our world with an abundance of beautiful things and sometimes in this fast paced life, we tend to overlook the simplest of these. Social media tends to only point out all that is wrong with the world instead of allowing us the opportunity to focus on the beauty that exists all around as well as within us.  Life is too short to not take in all that He has gifted us.  Stop for just a moment to admire the sunrise, for we are not promised tomorrow's. Take some time to tell your loved ones that you love them, because they will not always be here.  It is easy to find flaws in this world and to complain when life does not go your way, the true challenge is to find the good that still exists out there.  We should all take some time to find the good that lives in us to be able to share it with the world. Let God's light shine so bright within you that others can see it in your smile! Maybe this is what needs to happen for us to be able to look around and say what a wonderful world:)
