We have this Moment TODAY…

All is still. The world is silent. All universe seems to be wrapped in a complete darkness as if awaiting something glorious. As the dawn begins to break over the horizon, light slowly creeps across the dark sky…

So much potential.

The moments of the day not [yet] lived. Words not [yet] spoken. Smiles not [yet] shared. Angry curses not [yet] been flung. The path of the day not [yet] been trodden upon.

So many possibilities. So many chances. So many prospects.

Each moment is not the same. Yet is filled with many opportunities.

Then out of nowhere, that first brave bird begins to quietly warble in the distance. Others follow suit…and suddenly the earth is engulfed in the beautiful lyrics of the early birds arising to worship the Creator, their Master.

What does God have in store for you today? Are you willing to seize each moment with passion for Him? Will you recognize the opportunities He will bring for you to stop and worship Him wherever you are?

Are you willing to speak words of wisdom, strength, and encouragement to others around you? Stop to smell the flowers. Listen to the children’s laughter. Enjoy the nature He has created.[specifically with you in mind!] Drink in the moments with friends and family on this Holiday- taste the yummy food at the picnic. Pray for your children. Kiss your husband. Smile. And forgive the offenses that will come.

Live in the moments of today. For it will never come again. The chances of living life {today} will be past.

We have this Moment

Hold tight to the sound of the music of living,
Happy songs from the laughter of children at play;
Hold my hand as we run through the sweet fragrant meadows,
Making mem’ries of what was today.

Chorus: We have this moment to hold in our hands
and to touch as it slips through our fingers like sand;
Yesterday’s gone and tomorrow may never come,
But we have this moment today.

Tiny voice that I hear is my little girl calling,
For Daddy to hear just what she has to say;
And my little son running there by the hillside,
May never be quite like today.

Tender words, gentle touch and a good cup of coffee,
And someone who loves me and wants me to stay;
Hold them near while they’re here and don’t wait for tomorrow,
To look back and wish for today.

Take the blue of the sky and the green of the forest,
And the gold and the brown of the freshly mown hay;
Add the pale shades of spring and the circus of autumn,
And weave you a lovely today. -Anonymous
