So many years.
So much time.
We’ll do that tomorrow one thinks.
I’m busy with my important today we tell ourselves.
Just a minute we say.
And the years keep ticking by.
Year
after
Year
after
Year.
One after another
year
after
year.
What if the tomorrows became the todays?
The fun stuff, the laughter, the sitting still?
The helping others, the giving of self?
The change? The concern?
The should haves and could haves?
The slowing downs?
The taking charge?
The letting go of the not really right now importants?
The playing with them?
The letting go of the in a minutes and just a seconds?
The embracing of today?
This moment?
Oh, to remember, to live today fully.
To walk through life, and it’s ups and downs with joy.
To be aware.
Awake.
To live.
To really live.
Intentionally.

Thank you friend for the reminder to “be aware. Awake.
To live.” Lord, help me to be present in my life. Amen.
Great post. Beautiful pictures.
Now I feel inspired to get off my butt and play with my kids. I am sure they will thank you!
Gorgeous! So true and relatable to so many. I have really been trying lately to do everything I said I would in a timely manner…not sure what I’m ever waiting for.
Precious. Sweet pictures. I want to live intentionally, always thinking eternally, like Jesus did. : ) I think it happens to be the only way to live. Now if only my selfish heart can just remember it.
Very inspiration words. Thanks for sharing!
Yes. Yes. I need these reminders, they are so important. My husband has been helping me a lot lately to just let the laundry or what have you go for another time and just enjoy the moment 🙂
so true. such words of wisdom. this has been on my heart a lot lately…living intentionally. what is my purpose? i want only to serve Him and bring Him glory. if my focus is just that, i believe everything else will fall into place. thanks for your words of encouragement!
Beautiful post! Beautiful words! This has been something that has been on my heart for so long and like you said all those tomorrows turn into yesterdays. I want them to be todays. Thank you for the encouragement.
Beautiful post! Very inspiring words!
That is beautiful! It really is a lesson in living life everyday instead of waiting until tomorrow. Love the pictures too.
awesome post and awesome pictures, I make it a point to remind myself of this daily
So much to think about as always!
The passage today is a little different. But the way I look at it, life itself is a battle and the Lord doesn’t change. He was with the Israelites as they headed into the Promised Land, and He’s with you, helping you and giving you strength to face whatever lies ahead. Always here praying!
Deuteronomy 20:1-4: When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them; For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
