If Only
It can sometimes be a struggle to live “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.
In the midst of this we might hear the exclamation, “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, try to hear that inner voice that says to each of us: “I have a gift for you and can’t wait for you to see it!”
Choosing to listen to that inner voice will find each of us experiencing that the past is gone and we can 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. Amen.
