The Now


4 Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.



Are you feeling old? 

Do you feel like your best days are behind you?  

You would like to go back, be younger, and do this all over again. 

 

Do it 

Knowing more, 

Being wiser,

With more gratitude. 

 

Do it holding the ones you love 

Closer, 

Being kinder to them, 

Letting them know they matter. 

 

Taking in moments and

Saving 

The feeling

The Sounds

The Smells

Cherishing 

Breaths

Relationships

Connections

 

Not wishing to 

Be Ahead

Be Someplace else

Be With someone else

Be someone else

Be different

 

Being happy with

Where you are at

Who you are surrounded by

All that you are. 

 

Taking it all in

Giving more

Doing more

Be healthier

Spending less

Planning more

Saving better

 

Protecting you spirit 

Making and keeping your boundaries

 

Not doing what’s easy 

Perusing what brings happiness

 

Present 

In your body

In your mind

In the day

In your relationships

 

Laughing

Smiling

Crying

Be angry

Not holding back

Not caring what others think

Not holding on to what was

Not controlling

 

Letting it be what it is 

Moving forward 

Grateful there is another day

 

Honoring who you are

Breathing

Growing 

Staying centered 

 

Accept

Time passes

Change happens

Everyone grows older

The good old days are the present days

 

Be in the now 

You are a part of it all

The thread of life

That weaves in and out of the lives of others

 

Be your best

Gentle

Understanding

Loving

True

 

Because this is exactly where you are meant to be

Letting life flow

In and through you

Feeling the peace and rhythm of all that is and was 

knowing you have what you need

 

You are here

Be here in the now

Be you

 

Prayer

Father God,

Thank You for all You do.  Thank You for all You provide.  Forgive me for when I am not in the now.  Forgive me when I question the past, leave the present and fear the future.  May I accept the now.  It is all part of the journey.  May I see all that was before made me who I am now.  It is good.  It is easy to question You.  It is easy to get lost in the day-to-day details and not stop and see all You have provided.  The now is what is.  May I see the goodness in the now and not wish it away hoping for something better. 

 

Amen
