It’s been a crazy day. Part of which was spent househunting with my son and his fiancee. So I have reached back into the archives for today’s meditation.
Seize Today
I will seize today
for it is shiny and new
sparkling with promise
a gift wrapped
with possibilities
and ribbons of delight.
Anticipation.
I will let go of yesterday’s
wrinkled regrets
faded failures
broken bows of disappointment
moments to forget
and forgive.
Finished.
I will not treasure tomorrow
for God has not promised
on earth
a gift out of reach
moments to hug
and love.
Seize today.
“Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” James 4:14 (NIV)
