STOP, LOOK, LISTEN

In hurrying through our busy lives,

God's wonders we can't see.

We need to take time each day

To stop, look, and listen.



Stop...

Take time to just relax;

Rejuvenate body and soul;

Clear the mind of worrisome thoughts;

Ease the stress of living life.



Look...

At the wonders everywhere:

The sunset painted across the sky;

The grandeur of the mountain peaks;

Moonlight sparkling on the water.



Listen...

Hear the magic in a songbird's tune;

The wind whispering through the trees;

Waves swishing upon the shore;

The laughter of happy children.



God's wonders are all around

If we just take the time

To stop, look, and listen.
