Living in the Present Moment
A familiar title, some new thoughts? 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.
“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 will find 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.
