I've been slowly learning this over the past number of years but it really came home to me anew the other night when I helped my sweet dog, Demi, deliver her first litter.
Those precious tiny puppies are born shrink wrapped in a clear membrane which is very hard to break. My job was to tear an opening in the membrane so Demi could begin stimulating her puppies to take their first breath.
A moment...
and life hung in the balance.
And each moment matters. Each moment becomes part of a chain of moments which make up a lifetime.
How will in live in this moment?
Will I love?
Will I give?
Will I deny myself, think of others?
Will I live for the One who made me?
Sometimes but not each time.
Oh how I want each moment to be lived rightly.
I am learning the only way to live in the moment is to walk with God...moment by moment, in faith and in trust.
