Stealing Time

There are times when I imagine myself in a different life. A life were all my inner desires are realised. A life where all the things that I hope for and long for are part of my existence. There are times when those thoughts are better than the present.

I think we all do it sometimes. Daydream the present away.....

I stopped myself the other day because I realised that each moment I spent imagining a different life, was a present moment lost. Instead of living in the now, I was elsewhere. In a way, I felt it meant I was unappreciative of the present.

There is nothing wrong with dreaming, if it doesn't steal from the time you have now. My Lord has placed me in this moment. I must live it fully in appreciation for the gift. These moments are but a dot in eternity, but each moment fully lived, is a thanks to God.

I will not allow my own wishes to steal time from the moments God gives me now. I will be intentionally present.

I'll be praying for you x
