Today Spring officially begins, yet the robins have been back for several weeks around here and spring flowers are blooming. This newness awakening allows me to ponder a question my son posed to me at dinner. John asked, "What do you think the focus of your life is...past, present, or future?"
Wow....That's an amazing thought to consider. As a Christian woman, the main focus of my life is a future with God in Heaven. However, do I live each day focused in such a way? I don't think so.
A friend of mine who is over ninety, lives in the present. She doesn't remember much about the past, and has no real longing for the future. She lives in the "right now" and it is so very refreshing to be with her.
I am trying to focus more on living in the present. To be more LOVing to those around me and kind in all my actions and thoughts. I do not want my vision filled with what might be or with what could have been. Living today's adventure is what I really want to do. Focusing on my simple tasks of life and allowing others into my today is really enough for me.
Ask yourself the question of "Where is the focus of my life, past, present, or future?" How does that fit with LOV and caring for your needs as a woman? Let me know what you discover.
LOV,
Mary
