Living in the Present Moment
One of the struggles we encounter is the struggle of living “THIS 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; looking forward and hoping about our I wish/I want desires.
Receive this statement for today: “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 wanting each of us to hear: “I have a gift for you and can’t wait for you to see it!”
If each of us can listen to that inner voice, we will find that the past is gone and we will never change it. As we keep listening to that voice and maintain the practice of listening to that voice, we will find ourselves discovering more and more 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.
