In our lives were given so many moments, some moments seem so insignificant that one wouldn't even give them a second glance. If you want the truth though, the truth is that every single waking moment counts, from the simplest interactions to the most grand of gestures. The fact is, no matter what stage your at in life, young or old, reckless or wise, were all dying. From the day were born our "life clock" starts ticking, every moment that goes by, that's a moment we can never get back, an action committed that we can never change. Every day that passes is an entire 24 hours simply gone to the wind. What did we do with our day? How did we influence the lives of those around us? Did we help or did we hurt? I'm sure you've heard the saying, "live like your dying", or "live every day like its your last". Well those aren't just sayings because you are dying, we all are. Were all slowly diminishing away into oblivion and every second counts. We need to live every day like its our last because even if were lucky enough for it not to be our last day on this earth, it is our last day of today. We only get one shot at today, if we're lucky tomorrow will come, but we only have this one short shot at today. So make it worth it, cameras are great, they save memories but think about what could happen if we stopped trying to "capture" the moment and actually started living in the moment.. Don't waste even a second , those add up to minutes, don't waste a minute, those add up to hours, don't waste hours, theirs only 24 and they make up your day. We were given a gift, it has come to be known as life, and as with any gift it should be cherished and used to full capacity. So don't waste even another second! Go live your life, go love like theirs no such thing as a broken heart, go forgive even those unworthy, live without fear of the future and live with compassion for those around you..LIVE<3
A thought came to me today as I stumbled upon some inspirational posts. Why are we often so eager to escape our troubling circumstances. We get trapped in the fire and get so focused on getting out that perhaps we miss the most important question of all, what refining needs to be completed in the fire? Just as a welder uses the fire to shape and refine metal, so God uses our circumstances, "fires" to shape and refine us. If he simply swooped in and saved the day, we would lack the knowledge he hopes us to gain, we wouldn't grow in character or wisdom. In the fire we think he abandom us, left us to our own devices, but in reality he is more present in the fire even then in the calm. It's when we feel abandoned that he's calling to us the loudest, beckoning us to just open our ears to listen to his voice. Take the fires in stride, don't immediately reach for the extinguisher. Allow the flames to surround you with the confident knowledge that the one whom the...
