i thought of this at around 5:15a.m. and it just kept milling over in my mind. and, then i thought, "kim, do you realize how many day's you've wasted?" heaven knows i've wasted plenty, too many, more than i should have. i go through a period of time in which i make a decision to not waste a day being angry or offended. i also strive to have a series of days in which i won't become fearful or worry. i will be successful for a few days and then fall right back into the rut of wasting precious time. do you have a problem in this area? i know i can't possibly be the only one in the boat on this one, however, the only one i'm responsible for is myself. once a day is gone and used up it is just that....gone, used up. there are so many days i wish i could get back, many to enjoy all over again, many to make better choices, and do the right thing, and many to be more appreciative of all of the many blessings that i have, and that surround me. as we all know time is not that way, it doesn't stop, it just keeps on ticking. i can't get back yesterday and i don't even know if i'll have tomorrow. the very best thing for me to do is live in the present moment and make that moment count for something positive. i think we all battle with this from time to time and if you're anything like me, you battle with it more than just from time to time. i can look around me and choose to see the negative or i can look around me and choose to see the positive. i want to choose the positive, the blessings, the Godly things that totally out weigh the negative things. the voice of truth will always direct us to the good, the voice of lies will not. Lord, i pray that you will help me to see the good that surrounds me, that i will not become easily offended or spend moments angry, and that i will not waste a day filled with negative thoughts, but will instead welcome the beautiful and precious blessings that are in my life, and concentrate on what is positive, so that i will not waste the wonderful moments that you have given.
