“THIS MOMENT!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

January 7, 2025///

Welcome to 2025!

It seems like yesterday that we were welcoming the year 2000!

As I think back over the last few years and even this past year, those who are no longer with us come to mind! Some we know of and some who were close to and precious to us!

I am reminded that life is short, and we cannot be sure of tomorrow, but we can be sure of who holds tomorrow!

I want to share a song about “This Moment”! It is my prayer for us all!

Yesterday’s gone and tomorrow may never come but we have this moment in time!

WE HAVE THIS MOMENT, TODAY             

Hold tight to the sounds of the music of living
Happy songs from the laughter of the children at play
Hold my hand as we run
Through the sweet fragrant meadows
Making memories of what was today!

CHORUS

WE HAVE THIS MOMENT TO HOLD IN OUR HANDS
AND TO TOUCH AS IT SLIPS
THROUGH OUR FINGERS LIKE SAND
YESTERDAY’S GONE
AND TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME
BUT WE HAVE THIS MOMENT TODAY

Tender words
Gentle touch and a good cup of coffee
And someone who loves me
And wants me to stay
Hold them near while they’re here, oh
And don’t wait for tomorrow
To look back and wish for this day.

January is sometimes as or more stressful than December as we must gather things for taxes, get the Christmas bills, some have more work at their job as they are going from one year to the other, clear out old and starting the new. Kids go back to school and decisions must be made one after another!

Some are facing new illness or relationship situations!

My desire for each of us is that we would not let all we have to do rob us from cherishing the moment!

We need to understand time is passing and we need to love one another and cherish our time together.

We need to hug those we hug a little tighter and longer, listen to each other and encourage each other!

Ephesians 5:16 (KJV 1900)

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Father, I come in the name of Jesus. Help each of us to take each moment to cherish those we love and commit our days, our ways, and our lives, to your Lordship! Let us understand that tomorrow may never come but we have this moment in time! Forgive us when we live like us and those we love will be around forever and let each of us live in the moment! Amen!

Love, Me-Maw
