In This Moment

Reflections for contemplative living

How good are you in being present, fully present to the moment in front of you, not living in the past or planning for the future?  Dwelling on the past takes us away from living our current best life.  It can keep us stuck in depression and regret.  Or we can focus on the uncertain future and its vague forebodings. 

The only real hope is to face the present and be fully engaged in all that it brings. Now is the time. This moment is ours. The past is beyond recall, the future is as uncertain as life itself. Only now belongs to us.

How well am I living in the now?

Lord, thank you for Your gift of faith allowing me to fully engage in the present moments of my life.
