Thanks @JodieNiznik for this reminder. "If we are always focused on what could be, then we miss the moment of now."⁣
.⁣
I am such a planner that I often catch myself thinking about the next thing—and almost miss the right now.⁣
.⁣
Today, while washing dishes, I listened to the audio book "Interior Freedom." I don't agree with everything in the book, but it has been such a sweet reminder that often the things that shackle us—are simply our rush or resistance to the gift God has given us right now, in this moment (even when the moment is suffering).⁣
.⁣
As Jesus walked from place to place (walking is slow travel), He ministered to people right around him—he welcomed the present moment. ⁣
.⁣
He healed the bleeding woman. He renewed the skin of the lepers. He opened the eyes of the blind man—all because he focused on what IS with the vision of what could be—wholeness. Healing. Salvation.⁣
.⁣
We still hope as we wait for what could be. But let's not miss the holiness of the moments.⁣
.⁣
Like today. I started chopping brussels sprouts for dinner and my daughter asked, "Can you play checkers, mommy?"⁣
.⁣
I almost said no. But instead, I welcomed the moment, pulled up the stool to the counter, and chopped off ends of sprouts in between turns.⁣
.⁣
How can you embrace the moment of now—right now?

The REAL story about starting school.
.
This kid is see-through. I always know what he's REALLY feeling and thinking.
.
It's a blessing, I tell myself.
.
And it is. Except when I want him to feel something else and it frustrates me.
.
Starting a year of homeschooling---if I'm honest, I feel exactly like he looks in the first slide.
.
My plans were to start working again to contribute to our family's tight budget.
.
God's plans are different.
.
So, as I adjust to choosing this path instead of my own, may I see this as a blessing and receive this time as a gift.
.
What is unexpected in your life that makes you feel, well, not joyful?
.
How can you see the gift in the journey? (See second picture)

The end. Summer is gone.
.
I tried to squeeze in a little more fun before tomorrow morning, when backpacks are stuffed and days are long.
.
I'm thankful for seasons. Endings are also beginnings.
.
And I hope my kids have a wonderful year of blossoming friendships, curiosity, and growth.
.
What's an ending in your life recently? Remember, it's also a beginning. Endings make space for the new things that take their place.
