I have actually had some time to think, not just have a thought, but really think about some things lately dare I say meditate. It been about 2 years since that happened. For those of you without young children, it's o.k. if you think I'm crazy, somethings you just can't fully understand till you get there.
Anywho, I was reminded how much God can work through us in our everyday lives. This seems to require that we stop sorting out all our future plans and dreams and pay attention to right now. I've realized that I can't be all here where God is active, if my mind is in the future or the past. Even if I'm only 20% in the future, that is 20% of my time, devotion,love, patience, etc... that isn't available for God to use or fill right now. So I might miss his prompting me to call a friend or stop and hold my daughter for no particular reason. Those things might cost me a little or a lot, but it might be some much needed love to someone else. Simple stuff to some, but God is opening my eyes with that right now.
