Celebrating the Present
I’ve heard it said that women are historical… not hysterical, historical… We are so good at remembering every wrong ever done to us or our loved ones. But there comes a time (evening and morning both work well when we need to leave the past in the past and focus on creating a better today. After all, today, is the present we hold in our hands… yesterday and tomorrow are merely sands of time.
When we focus on tomorrow – we don’t know whether to celebrate or mourn because we do not know what tomorrow brings. But doing either prevents us from focusing on the blessings of today.
Likewise, when we disengage the clutches of the past, we are free to embrace today and it’s joy with both hands wide open. I choose to not hold bitterness, malice or resentment in my heart. I choose to rejoice, to dance, to celebrate the day that is today… there is SUCH joy in the journey!
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. Philippians 3:13-15
