Alive!

As humans we feel alive when there is a rush of adrenaline or a milestone like the birth of a child. Sometimes we narrowly define "alive" with these types of concepts, but it's not always in the epic moments where we are alive!

I sit quietly on my back deck and hear about 4 or 5 different types of birds talking. I see butterflies, bees and flies moving through the air. On the ground there are many lizards and I have seen Javelina and deer in my yard last week.

Here's my point. Sometimes being alive means slowing down enough to see all that is alive around you! Life is not merely defined by what I experience! Life, as designed by God, is happening everywhere, sometimes it comes ALIVE to me when I sit and listen. Try it today!
