Today’s Gift
John 16:33
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
Well, just as these months are swinging by this year, August went faster than I anticipated. That is okay. We have had highs and lows this year but no one can tell me they have missed out on new knowledge.
I have learned more and more how much the present counts. Being present is looking around you and taking in what you are experiencing right now.
Yesterday had it’s challenges. You overcame them as today you are living a new day.
Tomorrow will have experiences from which to grow. It has not come. It will come, Lord willing, and it will be one for the books.
Today is now. Look around. Name 5 things that you are experiencing. For example, I see a mirror. It has been sitting on the floor for some time. Today I hung it on the wall. I used the wrong nails and it fell while I was hanging it. No surprise to me as I occasionally do things twice because I didn’t learn the first time. So I went in again. This time success. I am looking at the mirror that I successfully put up. I am grateful.
Keep moving forward. Continue to see the blessing in the accomplishments; and the failures.
