Finding Light in the Dark

​The
 additional hour of sunshine added to our day serves as the perfect reminder to shed some light on our blessings in even our darkest hours. 
 
When we only focus on every task on our calendar that we still need to complete, next month’s bills, or other things that cause us stress, it’s easy to neglect the good things that happen to us. Regardless of how small, the good things are just as important. Blessings come in all shapes and sizes, so when you’re feeling down, take a few minutes to pause and reflect on the little things throughout your day that worked out. 
 
“When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” 
 
Be Mindful 
 
When we practice being mindful we’re able to catch ourselves in the act of self-doubt. Be mindful that you are an imperfect. Whatever you are going through you will overcome. Sometimes things don’t work out the way we plan, but they always work out the way He plans. 
 
Practicing Mindfulness 
 
  1. Breathing: Give yourself a few minutes when you’re feeling overwhelmed to sit or lay down, and repeatedly take slow deep breaths. As you are doing this, notice the things that are going well in your day. 
  2. ​Acceptance: Allow yourself to be in the present moment and put aside worries of the future or burdens from the past. Accept your situation and surroundings and acknowledge that you are in control of your feelings. 
  3. Mindful Walk: This is something you can do with your children as well. Go for a walk as a family and pay attention to the sights and sounds of your surroundings. If you’re at a familiar spot, try to point our things you never noticed before. Even if you visit a new spot, take it all in and enjoy it.  
Soak up the extra hour of sunshine with your family and be mindful of all your daily blessings. It’s okay to pause, breathe, go for a walk, and allow light to shine through you. ​
