Present Tense Living
One of the challenges we might encounter is living each day to the fullest. It is a struggle because we can easily be distracted—looking back and reflecting on our could have/should have opportunities or looking forward and hoping about our “I wish”/“I want” desires.
The ancient hymn writer exclaimed, “This is the day that our God has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Today is a new day and each hour, in fact each minute is a new beginning. It is a time to make things new. As you experience the gift of life today, try to hear that inner voice that is saying to each of us: “I have a gift for you and can’t wait for you to see it!”
As we choose to listen to that inner voice, we can discover that the past is gone and we will never change it. As we keep listening to that voice, we will find ourselves opening more and more to discover the new life hidden in the moment, waiting eagerly to be born.
Enjoy THIS DAY!
A prayer: God of today, keep me attentive to each moment of this day. Amen.
