I had been struggling, fighting to retain my focus on the present day. Always thinking ahead, wondering what’s next can be exhausting. I have one particular issue about my future that I bring up with God quite frequently, one that He seems (in my human mind) to duck out of the room just in time, every time I mention it.
Many times, as parents, we often hear the answer to our question come out of our own mouths. Such was the case when I was reading to my son a couple of days ago.
We had started reading one of his favorite books and like always, he wanted to tell me about the pictures and talk while I was reading. He wasn’t really listening to me read, wanting to skip to the next page in a hurry, and to the next book sometimes, too. That’s when I heard myself say, “can we just enjoy reading THIS page in THIS book before we go on to the next?” It hit home like a sledgehammer.
This is the day the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
God made today for today’s purposes. May I get on the same page with Him!!
