Enjoying experience. I think it is a gift. The ability to enjoy ALL of life's experiences - the good and bad. The yelling boss, the friendly coworker, the financial distress, the smile of your children, the decay of your body, hot morning coffee, the loss of a loved one, a kiss from your spouse, a fight with your spouse, movie night, brokenness, a faithful pet, shattered dreams, hope, hopelessness, faith, doubt, love, hate, anger, joy, mercy, judgement, His closeness and His absence.
We are so resilient and strong and brave. Life keeps us busy. Always presenting something new whether it is good or bad. Embrace life, whether it be the hurricane of trouble or a flood of blessing for we know in the end we finish this race in the arms of Jesus and the smile of God over us.
I used to be so concerned about tomorrow. Worry would rob me of my today. How often has worry robbed my now, stolen what is precious simply because I let him?
Jesus laid out a pretty simple plan for life, "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." Matt 6:34
Let my today be filled with the wonder of mowing the grass, swimming with my children, changing diapers, cooking dinner, gazing on the smile of my son, resting in the love of my wife, learning kung fu with my daughter, being amazed at the grace and power of Jesus and letting worry worry about itself.
The fullness of enjoying now.
