Life is made up of moments. Ever so many of them, stringed on the rope of my life.
And when life is busy I keep planning and making lists and I keep shoving them of, pushing them away to some ‘later’ time. But then later becomes now and I still haven’t done it.
I haven’t learned to be patient and loving and humble and kind and joyful. On which moment will I learn how to do that?
I haven’t learned to be patient and loving and humble and kind and joyful. On which moment will I learn how to do that?
If I would really believe that THE moment would come, you know, the one where you have inspiration and everlasting time and your are totally grown-up and the situation is just right…Then I could just put it of till then.But that won’t come, will it?
So I have to chose today and tomorrow and these times right now to do what I want to do.
When I look back to today, I don’t want to remember me longing for tomorrow; For the perfect day and time that I never quite got to.
I want to make memories today and become a better wife and mom and friend today and live like Jesus might call me home tonight.
If He were to tell me He would call me home tomorrow, I would beg Him for a little more time. Not because I don’t want to go home, but because I want to do more, be more.
And so I want to do less and be less in order to let Him do more and be more in me, because that’s the only way I will ever feel ready to go.
Go to glory and peace and perfection and majesty and overpowering love.

Wow! What a great post! “I would beg Him for a little more time” really hit home. I know the feeling all too well. It’s when we need to remember that we are only here because He has given us today.
Loved your closing. I instantly thought of John 3:30. He must increase, but I must decrease. 🙂
