Working with persons with disabilities, I often am reminded to "Live in the Now". For my clients, many of them can't remember yesterday and don't have the mental capacity to plan for tomorrow. Today is all that matters anyway.
And so it is for me. Moment by moment... I want to hear the birds singing... Pet my Kitty "Oliver" who would love to catch one of those singing birds in my yard.
Let me savor the morning coffee time with my sweetheart ( Hubby of 34 years)....Stop the planning....Put down the "To Do list"... Enjoy my prayer time, my Bible reading ( listening to Alexander Scourby)... my Bible Study time with Nancy Leigh DeMoss daily podcast. Even if I am on the treadmill trying to work off the Winter weight I put on!
Practice my hymns on the piano and enjoy just worshiping the Lord.
Then... I can start my day. My brain is clearer... It's later than most people start their day... but...who cares!
I want to make the Main thing the Main thing. Yes... It's easy to get distracted by phone calls... but, I've learned that my phone has a "Silent" button. That's such a blessing!
Today my heart is broken for a precious young family. The husband and Father is under 40 and has suffered a Brain anyurism. Knowing God, I know he can work Miracles and this family is waiting for one.
ReplyDeleteKnowing our Lord has a greater plan than we do for our lives, I trust him to complete his work in this man.
The hard part is the waiting on God. If we are honest, we all have to admit it... staying in a holding pattern is hard. Waiting is never easy. Trusting God is waiting. Believing his word is waiting. Let us all remember to savor each moment that God has given us.
There is no time for resentment, no time for bitterness... only time for loving. There will never be a time in my life that I will say "I shouldn't have been so kind"... no... Walking in the spirit will help us all to hold on to our loved ones losely, because it hurts for the Lord to pry them from our arms. Trust him today.
