Take time to watch the sun rise!



Today was has been one of those days where you wish you had never gotten out of bed! and it is only 9:30 in the morning!
Collins got a flat tire on the way to work and he discovered he didn't have his jack, so hannah and i had to hurry and get dressed and run him his jack, but the spare tire wouldn't fit on the flat tire so we had to move a tire from the front to the back and then put the spare on the front. So that done we get in the car to hurry back home and finish getting hannah ready for school cause we are running really late!
But then as Collins goes to leave his truck won't start, so we pull around to jump it, and finally it starts. By this time we are both a little frazzeled, and I have 15 min to get home get hannah ready and get her to school, and of course she is not seeing the urgency of any of this, so she is taking her own sweet time and i am getting more frusterated by the min, so we finally get in the car and I turn to her and say,"hannah please hurry and get your seat belt on." and she looks at me and says, " Mom did you see how pretty the sunrise was when you and Dad were changing the tire?"
And at that moment it all came into perspective, i just sat there looking at her and thought, thank you! thank you for helping me realize that there is so much to be thankful for and so much beauty around us, I was to busy being frazzeled, and to focused on what was going wrong, i failed to notice the small simple beauties of life, I failed to notice the sun rising on this beautiful day, but my heavenly father has blessed me with a precious gift, Hannah is here to remind me of the beauty we can find in every moment of every day! She reminds me to stop and look at all the good instead of focusing on the bad! I am reminded of the quote, Come what may and love it!!!
So tommorrow, I think Hannah and I are going to sit on the porch swing and watch the sunrise! No matter how late we are!
