A cloud gracefully glides across the blue sky…A bird chirps a lovely hymn…The grass sways with the wind…The rain pelts the roof like hands to a drum…At this moment, life is moving! Your son/daughter is screaming your name because they want a bit of attention from you...Your partner rubs your back gently trying to show affection…A family member says “I love you” at the end of a conversation...God is whispering to you through that still small voice...Yes, all of this is happening at this VERY moment! And guess what!? You didn’t even notice. *tsk tsk*But in all honesty, it makes no sense that you’re not enjoying this moment. Why? Well, we aren’t promised tomorrow – who promised you tomorrow!? You ask yourself, how can this be? Of course I pay attention to X, Y, and Z. But you don’t and the end result is that life is passing you by!
You’re too busy, too moody, too angry, too stressed, too consumed in your thoughts and activities, too confused by the actions of others, and/or just too oblivious to it all -- to see all of these things right in front of your very own eyes. You’re living for yesterday or you’re living for tomorrow but you’re certainly NOT living for today. You are not living in the moment, this moment. You’re not taking advantage of what this moment has to offer. Are you living up to your own abilities and fulfilling your dreams in this moment? Are you being truthful to yourself and what your purpose is in this life?
Simply put, today is all you have and all you have is THIS VERY MOMENT! Enjoy it. Cherish it. Relish in it. Because this very well could be your LAST moment…Take a moment to check out this video and remember to "Life, Laugh, Love" each day!
