Enjoy Every Season, Every Minute – Matthew 6:34
London I love you so much!
When it’s cold, your fashion and food excel.
When it’s warm, the walks and picnics are worthwhile.
God, I’ve asked before for you to help me appreciate every season & every day.
Help me slow time down to love the people and nature around me.
Truly today was an answer to that prayer with this stunning sunny day,
spent underneath the cherry blossom trees, with our picnic and church community.
I’m thankful you help me slow down,
remind me I have nothing to be anxious about…
and gently nudge me to remember each season is important, each day is a gift.

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 6:34

Hey — I wrote a book about all of this.
Living Open-Handed is the devotional I wrote during a season when I really needed to hear these words myself. If you're in a place where you need to be encouraged by scripture and softened by grace, it might be for you too.
