Ever so often God reminds me of a simple yet life-enriching truth – remembering to take time to enjoy life. It means enjoying the moment, or the journey you are currently on. I often find myself getting sidetracked or lost in thinking about the past – it’s regrets and victories, or longing for the future and what it may bring. 

Connie reminded me of how beautifully, with each day of creation, God seemed to pause and declare – “It was good” (Gen 1:10b). At the end of it all He said, “It was very good” (Gen 1:31). The truth is that He could have created it all in a moment, yet He chose to spread it over time and enjoy each aspect of His creation. I wonder if life could be more fun if we too paced ourselves, and captured the beauty of what’s happening in the “now.” 

Today, take a moment to acknowledge what God is doing within you, to enjoy your kids, your spouse, your friends, your church, and your life. This moment will never come again.
