[featured_image]Some things are moving so fast around you that you can miss out if you aren’t paying attention.

I love going on walks with our dog Olive. It’s a time to slow down, observe what’s going on around me and just enjoy life.

Yet even when I’m trying to slow down — life can keep racing on by.Slow Down, Observe, & Enjoy | missionalchallenge.com

That’s what I love about this video. Olive reminds me that even as I slow down life is racing forward.

This forces me to be okay with not going as fast as everyone else. I have to accept the reality that I cannot sustain a fast pace. I need to slow down – observe – and just enjoy.

How about you? How do you take time to slow down each day?

When’s the last time you took a walk, or a nap, or just spent alone time with God?

When will you do it again?

Today’s Missional Challenge

Slow down long enough to feel that life is racing by. Thank God for the opportunity to take a break. Then do your part to obey what He’s telling you to do!
