do you live in the present? for some it may seem like a strange question...but really...if you think about it...most of us either live for tomorrow or live because of yesterday...our focus is on the future or the past...and we never really get to enjoy the present...
have you ever really taken a good look at 1 thessalonians 5:16-18? one of my favorite "reminder" verses...it says..."rejoice always [present tense]; pray without ceasing [present tense]; in everything give thanks [present tense]; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"
i truly believe that life becomes a lot more enjoyable when we take stock...focus on what we have rather than what we don't have...drink it all in...and thank Him...
think about how much our activity is based on all the things we have to do to get the future we want...or on proving that the person who years ago said we'd never amount to anything was wrong...we can't really control either the past or the future...but when we try to live in either direction...we miss the present...the only time we really ever have...
"yesterday is history...tomorrow is a mystery...today is God's gift...that's why we call it the present...” (not sure who the quote belongs to...but LOVE it!)
live today...enjoy this moment...
