The More Things Change...

Here we are in day number ??? of the pandemic fighting variant number ???  hoping life will at sometime in the future return to what we once regarded as "normal."  Not sure if that will ever happen.?!  Me too.

So how do we then celebrate and be hopeful for a new year, when in reality, everything is exactly the same as it was a few days, weeks, etc. ago?  That is a valid question.   My simple, and almost cliched answer is to take the year, one day at a time.  It's way too difficult to try to look 6-8 months down the road and imagine the world we once knew as something of a possibility to return to.  In all actuality, we may need to reimagine our vision of living in a fallen world where not that much is perfect.  However, by looking only toward the current day we are in, I think we can see a period of stability and hopefulness.  Why?  Because we are living in the moment, and that makes us in control.  Control of our own destiny, even if it is for the next few hours.  We can take charge, make changes, and live life to the fullest...RIGHT NOW.  I believe if we metaphorically, "stop to smell the roses," the pause may just be long enough to evaluate our present surroundings and appreciate what we have RIGHT NOW.  Thankful for what we have and be hopeful for what will come.  Certain elements of our future are out of our control, but there are things we can lay the future foundations for, by living in the moment RIGHT NOW.  Reflecting and reevaluating springs forward toward revamping and revision.  And most importantly, if you are a believer in the Truth, our hope comes HIM.  And lastly, I', reminded of the lyrics to an old hymn.

Why think of tomorrow,
Just live for today;
I'm following Jesus,
Each step of the way.

Psalms 62: 5-8
