Here and Now

When is the last time you lived so fully in the moment that any little thing that catches your attention brings ultimate joy? When you could snap your head back in laughter that brightens a room that others can't help but be filled with light? Sarah has taught me a lot of things in the short time that I have known her. However the one that stands out the most is her ability to truly live for now. When she is unhindered by worry, she is able to point out small things that often go missed. I believe this is a special gift that was given specifically to Sarah so she can share the light and love of God to whoever she encounters. I felt convicted to keep this post short, just because there is so much to focus on right now. I challenge you to devote you attention to one small thing an hour. Maybe it is recognizing your child's attempt to do something on their own. Maybe it is you getting the urge to do the dishes and actually enjoy it. Maybe it is a friend who unexpectedly texts you with an invitation or encouragement. In all these things give thanks to God for these special moments. By focusing in the now we can appreciate and find it easier to recognize God's provision, love, and care.
