If I could boil down my philosophy of life into one sentence it would be this,

“Make  every moment matter.”

I’ve struggled the past few months with doing this, but thankfully, God is merciful and has heard my cry for help. 

He is strengthening me day by day, and I am thankful.

I remember a song from my childhood and found the lyrics to share with you this morning.

The song is called, “We Have This Moment.”  Here are the words.  You can listen to the song by clicking on the title below.

WE HAVE THIS MOMENT

Hold tight to the sounds of the music of living,
Happy songs from the laughter of children at play;
Take my hand as we run through the sweet fragrant meadows,
Making memories of what was today.
We have this moment to hold in our hands,
And to touch as it slips through our fingers like sand;
Yesterday’s gone, and tomorrow may never come,
But we have this moment today.
You hear that tiny voice? It’s my not so tiny daughter,
Who’s still calling for me to stop and listen to what she has to say;
And my little son running there down that hillside,
May never be quite like today.
We have this moment to hold in our hands,
And to touch as it slips through our fingers like sand;
Yesterday’s gone, and tomorrow may never come,
But we have this moment today.

As you venture into your Friday, I hope that in the good moments, the bad moments, the stressful moments, and even the mundane moments, you will find something that matters.  God longs to be in every single moment of your today. 

Psalm 51:10

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
   and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
