Life in Slow Motion

Ever taken the time to slow down and enjoy life? I don't mean stop your afternoon activities to read a book. I mean taking time to sit in the quiet, doing nothing but observing all that is around you. Turning off the cell phone, forgetting about the homework, the job, the family problems, all but God's creation. And just....listening; observing; enjoying.

There are times when I wish I could view life in slow motion. There are so many things that I would just like to watch over and over again very slowly, taking in every detail about that particular thing. Like this in the video. Yeah it's just some guy breaking a water balloon. But watch it in slow motion.



Pretty cool. Suddenly it isn't just some guy breaking a water balloon. It's somewhat beautiful to watch as it unfolds. And just plain cool. Who knew something like that could give off such beauty. Well, we could know if we would take time to slow down our lives for 5 minutes to just observe. Just to watch. Life is passing us by and before we know it our turn will be over. We won't have the luxury of being able to just observe any more.

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”
-Ashley Smith

Until next time....
