Have you heard of Ann Voskamp? I was introduced to her recently through this blog post of hers. A friend of mine shared it on Facebook, and I was literally speechless by the end. She has such a way with words, such eloquent speech. She describes things and feelings with such detail. It is obvious that she looks through such a wise and appreciative eye. It makes sense that her campaign is: Find Joy, Reflections on Finding Everyday Grace. She offers a challenge to find 3 things daily that are reflections of God's wonderful grace. This forces one to look at all the details of life and find joy in the simplest of things.
I don't know about you, but I rush through life entirely too fast. I don't stop enough to enjoy life, to enjoy my husband, my children. Why on earth would I consider housework more important than spending time on the floor playing with my children? However, I am so guilty of just that. God help me to focus on what is most important. Help me to live life to its fullest. Help me to be the parent you've called me to be. And help me to cherish the details.
