I’m a dreamer, but I’ve been known to look back a lot, too.
What does that mean? It means I don’t always live TODAY to the fullest.
We don’t have the promise of tomorrow, do we? We can’t go back and redo yesterday, can we? What can we do?
We can live today, experiencing every second!!! I love how Bill and Gloria Gaither have always written songs like “We Have This Moment Today” taking those very ordinary things such as a cup of coffee, ketchup on their kid’s nose, playing baseball with a grandmother encouraging us to look at it all….the ordinary events that can whiz by, if we aren’t careful, causing us to miss something that could be life changing.
I don’t know why we look for the big stuff, especially when God uses more ordinary daily things like playing with children, fishing, plowing in the field, etc. to get His point across in scripture. Sure, He’s parted seas, delivered men from lions’ dens, fed thousands with hardly any supplies, and these are all works of God from which to learn, but He does seem to delight in talking with us about minute by minute events.
To be honest, I’m just now, these past 10 years or so, learning the importance of not waiting for “that huge moment” to take place but to grab hold of this very second and LIVE IT.
After all, we only have “this moment today” promised to us. Let’s LIVE IT, LOVE IT and THANK GOD FOR IT!!!
