In this fast-paced world of hustle and bustle, the small, simple pleasures of life are often drowned in a sea of expectations and responsibilities. Often we miss the brief reminders all around us of God's love and faithfulness to us, not because we do not need them but because we do not take time to look. Melody Carlson encourages the reader to "take time" to breathe deeply, touch a baby's cheek, listen to an elderly person, forgive an old hurt, or hug someone spontaneously. A simple message coupled with a beautiful design reflecting the comforting truth we often do not take time to notice.
