Lenten Love #23

“Don’t worry about having a great day. Just have some great moments. 
LOVE.

G”

This was the way Glennon Melton closed her latest entry at her Momastery blog (which I highly recommend).  I like it for several reasons.  As I look towards at least one more day being confined to a house because of an illness, I’m not sure I can even imagine a ‘great day’.  It will be much more feasible to have a few great moments.  At this point, that sounds doable.

But even on good days, when life goes well and we feel God’s presence ever closer to us, it only takes a little thing to sidetrack us.  Maybe a harsh look or an unkind word spoken by someone close to us.  But it happens.  And then our whole day is shot.  However, if we viewed the goal as having some great moments each day and give thanks to God when those moments come, then maybe those small blips of disappointment won’t feel nearly as heavy when they come.

So friends, "don’t worry about having a great day. Just have some great moments".

Blessings,
B
