As parents and adults, we tell children to pay attention to those things that are happening around them. Sometimes, we have to say, “Put the phone down and pay attention.” Or, “Look people in the eye and pay attention.” This week, I’m reminded that we should all take our own advice and see the world for a little while through the eyes of a child. Watch with wonder. Pay attention to the world around us and absorb all there is to learn like a sponge, just as little ones do. Look for the adventure and miracles every day brings. Acknowledge the people in your life and get really present in the moments. What a wonderful shift that would be from the lens so many people watch their worlds through these days. Life is filled with a million little wonderful reminders of our value, worth, relationships, hope, and goodness when those are the things that we PAY ATTENTION to. This week let’s do just that.
