Moments...

Quote for the day: “ Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away” – Dr. Hitch 2005

Moment by moment, our lives change. Moments come and go but every moment changes us forever or …not.

The older I get, the more I realise life is never somewhat what is seems.

Moments like… when I smell the freshness of rain, when I see a bubbly cute kid at the mall, with no care in the world, moments when a large smile crosses the face of a mother….these moments, I live for them.

Sometimes life is as simple as the way it sounds. Just life! *not sure I make any sense*

There are other times when you are introduced to the stark reality of life and the difficult decisions we must make. There are moments that modify our lives endlessly. Moments that you think about how things have changed, but of course you loved the way things used to be.

The special moments you smile and whisper to yourself “I love life”.

There are moments you have to make decisions, decisions where there are no conquerors or losers …just gladiators, fighters, wrestlers, boxers, warriors… There are days we have no nano-second to think, we just ACT because we have to make that decision on the shoot of an instant.

Every so often, we sacrifice who we are for the horrid uncertainties of those we care about. I cannot choose a life where everyone around me benefits from who I am but me. I want to be the first receiver of the blessing that is my life… selfish much huh?

There are moments when I must halt and pick me.

*This is dedicated to you friend, I hope you find the courage to choose you*

Prayer
May the potential of our destiny silent the noise of fear that looms to rob us of hope, perfect our vision Lord so we see that sometimes the only way to move ahead is to choose ourselves. AMEN!
