Mindfulness

Sometimes, we get so caught up in our routines that we don’t stop and smell the flowers. Smelling the flowers is literally the act of being mindful. Stop and appreciate the little things. Notice the wind on your face. Feel the sun warming your skin. Take a deep breath. Savor that bite of your favorite food. Kiss a little bit longer. Play with your kids. Mindfulness is just a subtle reminder of truly appreciating all of God’s creation.

Fervent

Fervor n.

1. intensity of feeling or expression

2. intense heat

The Bible talks about having a fervent mind, effectual fervent prayers, and possessing a fervent spirit. Our thoughts should be passionate and deliberate. Our prayers should be a profession of our faith. Our spirit should be expectant. I say should because some of us have lost our intensity. Our passionate flames are smoldering. We are still on fire, but our flames can be extinguished by disappointment. Fan the flames. Ignite your passion. Renew your strength. Change your mind. Raise your expectation. Pray effectual fervent prayers. Love fervently.
