The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. Proverbs 21:5

Last Friday was the last day of our holiday and my heart felt a little heavy. The pace we had been living over the last month has been a slow one and it’s been satisfying to the soul to not be rushing around. The thought of going back to the hectic lifestyle we led sent my heart fluttering in a panic. 

Maybe you feel the same too?

On that day though, I chose not to worry about rushing into the future. I planned to slow down. In return, I hoped my heart would be heavy with the abundance of beauty around me. Not only with the beauty of the landscape, but with the beauty I had in my family. 

I was not disappointed with the plan of slowing down and not having to rush around.

~What can you plan into your day that would lead to abundance?

~Why not plan to slow down and take in what is around you? 

“Abundance comes in many forms, do not limit your abundance by trying to control how it will flow, just know that it will come.” ~Shelly Sullivan
