Making the Moment Count

For your consideration…

We often have messages about making the moment count. Today’s message us to know that there are many ways to make that happen.

Perhaps when we think about maximizing the moment, we think about doing something. We think about packing as much into the moment as possible.

Our message today says that is only one way. Sometimes the best way to maximize the moment is simply to do nothing, relax into it and notice it. Everyone of my emails has a tag line after the closing. It says, “Make the moment count, for God has made it perfect.”

Indeed, every single moment is filled with opportunity. It is the perfect medium for us to make it perfect for us. We have to choose to do so. We have to choose to accept the perfect moment and make it fit perfectly into our lives. Perhaps that is going full speed ahead with something. Perhaps it is relaxing and noticing (like yesterday’s message suggested.) Perhaps it is catching our breath and thinking about what we need to do next or asking for what that next step is.

We need to move from the unconscious to the conscious. We need to be fully present in the moments of our lives.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take….

-Affirm…“I am loved.”
