Sometimes it’s hard to be in the moment. I think that’s because in this particular moment we may feel tired or distracted or we’re waiting for something. We are waiting for tomorrow because we expect it to be better or we have that special luncheon or plans with a friend. Tomorrow will be better because it’s not supposed to rain, it’s the weekend, it’s payday, or this week will be over. Tomorrow has to be better than today because today was really tough.
If we move through life this way, anxious and waiting for tomorrow, we are going to miss all of our todays. We are going to miss the lessons we’re supposed to learn, the people we’re supposed to meet, and the gifts God wants to give us. If we miss today, we miss the gift of the rain, the joys of the weekdays, and the lessons in the hardships.
Jesus asked in Matthew 6:27, “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”
Today, be thankful for today! Rejoice in the fact that today is a gift; while tomorrow is unknown, it will come soon enough.
