Luke
22-23
And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be
anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body,
what you shall put on. For life is more than food, and body more
than clothing.”
Live
for Today
While
at 7th
grade Winter Camp with my daughter, I recently fell and broke my
right hand and right foot. I had been worried all day this would
happen as the mud became very slippery, traveling through the woods
to study signs of various animals. I had become so focused on
falling, I am not surprised it happened. I should have focused on
being with my daughter and learning all of the wonderful things about
nature and God’s creation.
While
at home healing, I have time to read and contemplate my life and its
choices. I came upon this wonderful quote:
“Live
today. Not yesterday. Not Tomorrow.
Just
Today. Inhabit your moments.
Don’t
Rent them out to tomorrow.”
(Jerry
Spinelli – children’s author)
Some
days while I heal, I contemplate, and I know God is here to help me
through. Try contemplating today and listen for God’s voice, it’s
right there inside waiting to be heard. Just listen.
So
focus on today and its joys. Tomorrow will come soon enough. It’s
also good to know you can change your path in life, and I am ready to
make some much needed changes.
Dear
Lord, help us to listen and contemplate our day as it unfolds. Help
us to stop and listen to your voice within today. Amen.
