STOP! SMELL THE ROSES!

Smell the roses---
???What if there aren't any roses?
Choose any flower.


What if there are't any flowers? 

Skip rocks in a creek!
What if the creek is too shallow??
Take your shoes off and stick your toes in the cold water!
Why?
Because it is good to give thanks to the Lord. (Psalm 9:1)
He will enable you to "sing for joy." (Psalm 92:4, emphasis mine)

Quit making excuses! Be grateful. Pappy Young thought gratitude was
like duct tape ......there was no problem it couldn't fix.

Choose joy! 
When you've grown weary, remember the One who is your joy.
STOP! Lean into Him! Allow Him to gratify and satisfy.

Who knows, you might even get a whiff of roses from afar!
