Do you have a special memory of a beautiful moment? 

Sometimes little moments stick in our minds, and for some reason we remember them. These memories aren't necessarily momentous- just a special moment when the sights, sounds, smells, tastes we are experiencing combine in a memorable way, a beautiful way, a way which touches us deeply. 

We love to go back and revisit these moments, for the peaceful feeling we get when we recall them. We feel touched by grace, and filled with thankfulness when we revisit these memories.

When these special moments occur in the present, we must take notice of them and see them as a gift from God. If we practice taking notice, we begin to see that our everyday life is filled with many of these special little moments, and we begin to be filled with gratefulness. 

We experience that much sought after quality- 
peace!
