“That Moment”

Remember that moment that just passed? You know, the one that happened just a second ago that you failed to pay attention to? You let it slip by as though you could make it happen again. You treated it so casually and now it is part of history, something you can only look back on.

How many times in a day, does God offer us definable moments that we treat as nothing more than a step to the next step? How many times (I think I just missed one) did he offer us a moment to put down the pen, stop washing the dishes or resist the temptation to get something done, so we could see greatness in that moment that just rushed by.

As the economy slips deeper into the toilet, more people stand in line for help and the bills pile up, more moments will be trampled by “the worries” of life.

Life rarely turns out like we planned. Passions, goals, ideas and dreams are modified, managed or manipulated into something new. Change is not the most difficult part of this journey and neither is waiting (although I hate waiting). The saddest part of all of this is “That Moment” I lost worrying about something I can do nothing about.
