Scripture:......for I have learned, in whatever state I am,
to be content. Philippians 4:11b
"Seize the day.
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and
to play and to look up at the stars."
With this statement Henry Van Dyke connects special moments, which we'll
call "magic moments", with our contentment with life When we take the time to think about it, we
see that we all have these special moments.
To determine what constitutes magic moments for you, make a
list of the things you now do that give you joy. When you have your list, prioritize it so
that the things that give you the most pleasure are at the top of the
list. When you take a close look at your
list you will be surprised to discover you do enjoy the simple things you do
every day. We were! We found the mundane contains magic
moments. Included on our list was
sitting out on our patio sipping a cold beverage after doing yard work. Cooking together, then enjoying the meal
while watching a movie on T.V. Our list
goes on but you get the idea. We make
these moment just going about our daily lives.
Our most special "magic moment" is when we take time to
connect to God and His love. Now here is
another surprise, sharing these moments increases your contentment because
Magic Moments are contagious.
Prayer: Dear Father, help us to seize the day and be glad of
life because we do have much to be thank full for. Give us opportunities to
share your love with others and remind us that connecting with you in prayer is
the best Magic Moment we can have. Amen.
