I remember as a child how easy it was to live in the moment. I would lie in the grass letting the sun warm my face as I watched the airplanes overhead. Then as an adult I couldn't wait for things to happen. I can't wait for my wedding day. I can't wait for this child to be born. I can't wait for the opening day of my new business. I was always thinking of tomorrow. And when tomorrow came I was thinking of the next big moment. Now in retirement, I find it difficult to relax and enjoy the moment. How many beautiful quiet moments have I let slip thru my fingers.
I must learn to live today, enjoy today. Stop and listen for the one who may need a kind word or a helping hand. Life will end today for someone.
Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
