Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin. ~ Mother Teresa
This morning, from where I stood....
This morning, from where I stood....
Psalm 57:7-11 New International Version (NIV)
7 My heart, O God, is steadfast,my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
Each new day is a gift, how quick we are to just launch into it without a thought. So how shall we begin? Being thankful is always a good start. We are alive, we get to live the adventure today! So...the challenge in this fast-paced world is to s-l-o-w d-ow-n and look and see and appreciate each other as well as practice "living in the moment" and savouring it instead of a cursory glance as we whizz by. We can learn more than we realise from the difficult situations we face if we ask ourselves some searching questions, nothing is ever wasted.
Let's walk into our days with eyes wide open, with minds alert, hearts softened and hands ready to help. Let's see what the day holds...and then as the sky darkens through its various shades of deepening blue, let's end as we began, by being thankful.
"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this."
I will sing of you among the peoples.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
