MOMENT BY MOMENT

One of the great challenges of life is just the simple task of living in the moment, this very moment. Living a “present tense life". Why is this so hard for me. I can teach it.......but when it comes to living it out, I really struggle!

Jack (17 months) in the moment---enthralled with bubbles. Ah-h-h-h...to experience that.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.(Matthew 6:33, KJV)

Not concerned with earthly treasures---I just want to fully relish momentary pleasures.

"Moment by Moment, O Lord I am Thine."

serendipi-TEA "Heads Up"

6/1/13 "Deer on the Hill!" the biker called out as he passed Ellen and me on our morning Wolf River Greenway walk. 

As we rounded the corner, we looked up.

"Majestic," was Ellen's comment as we saw the doe on the hill, soon joined by another.

I was grateful for the "heads up" given by the biker. Too often, as I walk (as in other areas of my life), I look down or straight ahead toward my self-imposed goal. I can only imagine the beauty (deer, roses or whatever) I have missed in those moments of my journey.

My study of simplici-TEA is so-o-o teaching me to savor those moments!
Sometimes I get a really big sip of sereni-TEA or serendipt-TEA when God gives me a "heads up."
