January 15

Someone mentioned to me that this year is the "future" in the movie, "Back to the Future".  How can that be?  Didn't that movie just come out?  I'm kidding; I know the movie came out long ago.  But, it does seem astounding that we have now arrived into the future that seemed so far away at that time.  Time- such a malleable force.  A day can seem to last forever, but at the end, it seems to have slipped away in a moment.

Lord, please help me to be fully present in each moment.  Help me to really live in the time I am given, instead of longing for the past or anticipating the future.  Help me to savor the gift of now, which you have given.  In Jesus' name, Amen.
