Living Today
Some day I will look back at a day like today realize that it was a very happy time for me. I will be sorry when these days are gone. When the children were little, going through childhood illnesses, making many demands on my time and I was also a wife and pastor’s wife, I thought I would go crazy some days, because of all the demands on my time and being pulled in so many directions. Now when I read my journal entries and letters from the time, I fondly embrace the memories. They were good days for me, far better than I realized while I lived them.
So now I know to fondly embrace today. I’m not sure when I learned this but I know I’ve been practicing it for some years now. I have a number of sorrows and disappointments. Life often takes a different turn than what I thought it would or should. But I’ve learned, I’m still learning, to tap into the blessing of this very moment, the very essence of life itself. When I do this, I rise above the disappointments of the imperfections that seek to trouble me.
I am learning to revel in life itself and in God who gave it to me. I am so blessed! God has given me more blessings than I can catalog. Again this morning, I feel wonderful and I know that all I have is a gift from God. Thanks be to God who causes me to triumph and crown each moment.
