Moments

“This is the day the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

Ever taken a bad quality picture?  A blurry picture?  Or even a beautiful picture worth being on the front page of a magazine?  No matter how it looks, you should always treasure it. It’s a moment that will never return. Like when you wake up Christmas morning to find presents under the tree.  A good picture might be rare, but a fun, exciting one is always easy. God has made all these things for us to enjoy. He has given us the gift of laughter, and excitement. When your finger goes down on that button and the picture is taken, you need to smile and keep it as a memory, because pictures are that amazing moment you will never see again. Enjoy it.

When God created everything, for you and me, He kept in mind that it is for us to love. We should live our lives to the fullest and enjoy every moment of it. Keep in mind that what God made, was made for you. In your life there is going to be the unforgettable moments, and those already forgotten. Like when you make the awful mistake of not studying for a test. You live and you learn. You make the mistakes, and you learn from them.  You shouldn’t care if you forget what you did, just remember you enjoyed it. You lived it, with God.  You will look back one day and think “I’m glad it’s over, but I’m glad I got to experience it.” You have the choice to make the moment worth it. If you watch it all go by, you might regret it when you are older. Even if you are older, or have a bad history, you can still live in the moment, do not let it fly by.
