Between the past and the future resides a place called peace. This is the moment before us where we rest in the reality of our life.
How hard it is to quiet our mind so we can experience the present. We know that we’re missing God’s message when we’re obsessively caught in thoughts of another time. But too often we allow them to plague us anyway.
However, we are not failures if we need to repeatedly remind ourselves to be quiet, but we may think we are. We need to see ourselves as a small child who is learning to walk, stumbling and falling, trying again and again, often with peals of laughter.
We, too, are children trying to master a new skill in quieting our mind. With practice, we will become proficient at knowing peace.
Today I’ll willingly quiet my mind rather than let my thoughts carry me astray.

Cynthia, thank you. I am trying to do right now what you just wrote. God bless you and Jim.
