Jenny Marrs is hard at work with her HGTV show, has just recently completed a book, and is on the move with her busy family schedule. The “Fixer to Fabulous” star shared an important reminder that, even when life is hectic, it’s important to take a moment to pause.
Jenny Marrs Says Church Bells Are a Perfect Reminder
On June 28, Marrs took to Instagram to share a video of church bells ringing — something that is a reminder for her to take a moment out of her day.
“I love the sound of the church bells ringing in Tuscany. I love that special ‘campanile’ were built to house the bells. I love that they serve as a call to prayer. I love that, historically, Tuscan farmers would be toiling in the fields and would pause for prayer when the bells chimed,” Marrs shared in the caption.
She continued, “I love that these bells still ring today. Even in an age when tourists pass the towers unknowingly on their way to a ‘checklist’ destination or possibly pause only for a quick photo.”
Marrs went on to explain that she has the video saved in her “favorite” album on her phone for a couple of reasons.
“The sound reminds me of a place I love and, mostly, because the sound reminds me to pause in my hurried days,” she noted. “It reminds me to take a breath and say a prayer — not just at the start or the end of the day — but consistently throughout my hours of caring for my family and work deadlines and overcommitted schedules and endless responsibilities and the joy and hard inherent to the sandwich years of young children and aging parents.”
Marrs added, “I thought I’d share this little video as a reminder to us all. In this sometimes overwhelming world, pause. Take a breath. Name your gratitude for both the beauty and the sorrow. Hold it all with an open hand and a heart bent toward praise.🤍”
