The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count — Run with the Stars

Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars and see yourself running with them.’” Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor and philosopher, reminds us to appreciate the beauty around us. This quote encourages us to find joy in the simple things and to see ourselves as part of the vast, magnificent universe.

In Psalm 19:1, it says, ‘The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.’ This verse reminds us that the beauty of the stars and the universe is a testament to God’s creation and glory. Take a moment to think about the beauty in your own life. It could be the smile of a loved one, the warmth of the sun, or the twinkling stars at night. These moments are precious and remind us of the goodness in the world.”

How can we dwell on the beauty of life daily?

Here are a few tips:

·      Gratitude Journal: Write down three things you’re grateful for each day.

·      Nature Walks: Spend time outdoors and appreciate the natural beauty around you.

·      Mindfulness: Practice being present in the moment and savoring the little things."

Take a moment tonight to look at the stars. Reflect on the beauty of life and see yourself as part of this incredible universe. Remember, you are not alone; you are part of something magnificent. You have a race to run, a purpose and a plan (Hebrews 12:1). Make a conscious effort to dwell on the beauty of life and make every day count.
