Scripture of the Day

Matthew 11: 28-30

28 ¶ Come unto me, all ye that  labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my  yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and  lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy,  and my burden is light.

Living in the moment

It is no secret that I have mourned the end of summer and dread the beginning of winter.  But I was out the other day and living in the moment.

I don’t dislike Autum.  I acutally really like Autum.    The only two things I really dislike about it is 1.  It means the end of summer and 2.  It ushers in winter.  (I do dislike winter).

But I see the leaves changing.  The excitement in the air as we anticipate the autumn festivities and holidays.  The changing seasons.  It is part of the circle.  The circle of the year, the seasons, life.  Maybe a rebirth?  Maybe a growing older?  I’m not sure.  It is a good season.

I use to consider it my favorite season.   So, it must rank up there somwhere.  ;)   Summer is now my favorite season.  I love it.

I am actually not very good at living for and in the moment.  But often this scripture stands out for me.

Matthew 5:34

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.  Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
