One of the great temptations in life is to live it wishing for the next thing. We work hard to have and to build, to reach the pinnacle of success, whatever you perceive that to be and to express our highest potential. Along the way, we experience slowdowns and letdowns, successes and failures, joy and heartbreak. If we are not mindful, along the way through the various seasons of life, we will miss the moments that God wants us to enjoy. Since we do not control time or death, enjoy the things that are in our control a few of which are to enjoy our families, friendships, good meals, and sunshine. Enjoy the rainy days as God waters the earth, our jobs, the people we encounter, and the homes we work so hard to fill with beauty and convenience.
The lesson we are taught in the book of Ecclesiastes is to enjoy the life you have, considering God in your every action. Our guiding principle should be: Please God with pure motives engrained in our actions in service for the kingdom.”
So, enjoy the moments you have today!
