I love walking my dog, but he’d rather be walked around the neighborhood. Makes sense really. More to see, more to sniff. =)

Sometimes I think it’s God’s way of slowing me down long enough to see His beauty. The Bible says “Through Him all things were made.” John 1:3

I encourage you to take a few minutes to get outside, see the flowers and trees blooming, and smell the freshly cut grass in the air. Experience what God has made.
 
You can even bring God’s creation inside! Here’s an easy way to make a centerpiece out of milk bottles. It’s so easy even I can do it![/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”false” marginless_columns=”true” style=”margin: -30px auto 0px;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h4″ accent=”false”]How to Make an Easy Centerpiece[/x_custom_headline][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”false” marginless_columns=”true” style=”margin: -40px auto 0px;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h5″ accent=”false”]1.
