_{Experience whatever it is that restores your energy.}

Hi everyone. I’m Sherry Douglas with Heart-Song. It may be raining on the day you watch this, but on the day I recorded, the sun was shining brightly. In the afternoon the beautiful weather inspired me to go to a local garden center. By this time each year, walking around a garden center, brings life to my spirit. The vibrant and various colors bring joy to my heart. My dry bones from the cold winter months feel as though they have new life. Energy is restored. My heart is lighter.

As you live your everyday life, what brings joy to your heart? What makes you feel alive? I encourage you this week to take a little time for yourself and experience whatever it is that restores your energy. Is it a visit to your favorite coffee shop? A long walk? Meeting with a friend for some good laughs? It doesn’t have to be extravagant. Truly enjoy the simple things of life. Breathe deeply. Smile at people as they pass you. Say a pray of gratitude.

We all know life can be hard. But life also is full of joys if we only take time to look for them. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Live the way you want to be remembered.

See you next time.
