Miracle Of The Moment

Of course my crush Steven Curtis Chapman is on this theme (or mini-theme) week! It was today's song that made me decide to do as much as a theme week with the idea of moments of life as I could. I think it goes without saying (and yet I'm going to say it) that I LOVE THIS SONG.
Life is made up of moments and what will you do with them? This song encourages us, in fact challenges us, to breathe in and out, taste the tears as they fall, laugh hard and long when it comes, pay attention to every heartbeat, see the miracle of every moment. Just like yesterday's song, if we blink too long then we are going to miss the here and now of our lives. And we don't want to. Oh you may think you want to but hindsight is 20/20 and I'm telling you that the here and now of every day is what makes you stronger, what makes you appreciate all of life.
This song was birthed, in part, through another one of my "go to, live by" verses. Psalm 118:24, "This is the day the LORD has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!" Every day is fashioned by God and so it is good. What makes our day "bad" is US. Our attitudes, our blinks, our heartbeats during the day. So what will we do with the moments of our lives, which are made up of our days?

However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term. We all have a part to play.
