I want this moment to last, you know. Beautiful morning 3PP shared with Slo, Kevin, jmo, and Pj. A good book in my lap, cup of coffee in my right hand. Miss asleep a few steps down the hall. Silence raining down as sunlight beams in the dining room window. My body feels strong. Spirit lifted. Baby A is running around Croatia, Jordan is coming later this week, and I want it all to linger. In truth, I want it to last. It. Will. Not.
Neither will I.
The Bible teaches we are but a vapor, a mist, here today and gone tomorrow. James 4:14 (paraphrased, of course). Life’s constant? Impermanence.
So, friend, savor this moment. Find the joy in the struggle. Enjoy the quiet waters. Bathe in gratitude for what is while letting go of what it’s been or may become. Forgive quickly. Give heartily. Receive graciously. We are heading home. God, help me take it one day at a time. God, help me.
Live hard. Love harder…
