Time to notice. Really.

* Take time to turn. Turn and face moments. 



* Stop the car. Why not get out?


* Notice people. Really see them.



* Give a gift unexpectedly. Watch the smile.  

* Go for a walk. Alone. In the quiet.

* Carry notecards in your car. People matter. Tell them.


* Ask that person who works at that place what their name is. Use it. 

* Tell someone else to go ahead when you're in a hurry. 

* Smile, full eyes at the elderly

*  Offer grace when you have reason not too. There is always one more fact of which you do not know.

* Say "thank you"...and mean it. 

* When that car in front of you is going way under the speed limit...don't pass them. They may have caught on to something.

* Notice the sky. He changes it daily. For you.


* Squat down and look at what children's eyes see.

* Look your spouse in the eyes. First thing.


* Take time to be honest. God can handle it. It's only a place to start.

Notice what matters. Take time to wonder. Your life's not so empty after all. Because it turns out. He was always there. In that smile of a stranger. That dusty road full of quiet. That choice to go slow. ( Genesis 28:16 )

God always has time. For you.
