The Moment

Last night my wife and I spent the evening at a high school soccer match. The night had the gentle coolness of early Autumn. This particular high school sports complex was abuzz with the energy of a soccer match, a junior varsity football game, and a tennis match all going on at the same time. We visited with family members among the many conversations and activities going on. It was kind of a perfect, peaceful moment in time for many of us.

I don't savor the moment often enough. Sometimes I'm too prone to rehash the events of the past or to stew over whatever the future will bring. I need to spend more time basking in the grace of God which is the present moment.
