I’m thinking the events and emotions of the past week have all come upon me like a giant tidal wave and now I’m dead beat! (But not beat dead!) I spent some much needed specific quality time with the boys today and so we’ve been hanging out at the pool nearly the entire day. Neal joined us and we ran into some friends from church as well so it became a huge ‘church family’ affair.
As I try and keep my eyes open typing this and meditate on the day, wrapping up all the ways in which God continuously shows me He is here, I think the obvious is giving me the ability to have this day with my boys and Neal. I must have told my ‘airplane’ story four or five different times as someone new came up to us and with each story told I would reach out and hug on Seth or force Ryan to sit with me just for a moment so I could hold them.
Ironically that is what the meditation continued to emphasis was taking each day as it comes and living it like it is your last. Unfortunately we say this and it sounds like a ‘pun’. But what if we didn’t ignore that statement as some cliche but really lived each day like it is our last??
Even though I didn’t do much of anything today, I lived it well. I was present in the moment and not caught up into tomorrow.
But now I’m off to sleep because apparently I lived too much today! 😉
