Thankful moments

Luke 19:41-44
          Thankful moments

          As he came near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, ‘If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. Indeed, the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up ramparts around you and surround you, and hem you in on every side. They will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave within you one stone upon another; because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.’

          Are you aware of your graced moments? The opportunity we are given to see exactly what we have , what we are blessed with and not dimiss it or take it for granted? 

          My husband and I are keenly aware that the relationship we have is blessed. The odds of two kindred spirits meeting at the right moment, at the right place is really miraculous. We could have been two ships passing in the night but we recognized there was something there and the longer we knew each other, the more we realized how special it was and how truly blessed we are. At any step along the way, we could have walked and perhaps we would never have known the bliss, the extent of the joy we now have. God willing, our journey together in love will last to our dying breaths and beyond. We know what we have is worth fighting for.

          This prompts me to ask what else in my life, in your life, is a day that we should recognize for peace, for love, for Thanksgiving? Are we in such a hurry that we miss the scenery around us because we are driving too fast? We need to slow down, see, smell, appreciate the scenery, the people, the situations we are in? It could be a lost moment if we are not careful and inattentive. A missed opportunity, the answer to our prayers as my husband is to me.

           'Look at your life Loretta'.  

            Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, we have so very much to be tankful for.
