Do you ever feel lonely in your world? Caught in the prospects of "what could be's" and "what should have been's," lonely in "now." I mean, what is "now" anyway?

The way I see it:

Now is the phone call that you can't put off another day ... the load of laundry that is three days waiting ... the dishes that aren't doing themselves ... the thank you note that just has to be sent ...

But now is also, the love of those close to you that will never be the same as it is in this very season ... a relationship with God that pours grace upon your mistakes each day ...

Now, is so many of the "I wish I had's" or "please God's" that you've been hoping and praying for much of your life ...

Hope for tomorrow, by all means; rejoice and mourn in the yesterday's, for that has a time too; but "NOW" (and I'm not referring to the embarrassing "Now" CD epidemic); Now is the time to live.

The Greek Philosopher, Epicurious says, "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."
