The Value of a Moment

The Value of a Moment – Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it has already become a memory. As far back as I can remember, I have never been one to hurry through life. I was and still am never in a hurry to get anywhere or to accomplish something.

Just ask my husband, he is a hard working man, who is focused and loves to build things to make a better life for us. He knows first hand that my focus gets distracted easily. It is like saying “Squirrel” to a Dog, if you know what I mean.

This photo below is a perfect example. I was headed to a specific place and when we got past a grove of trees I looked out my window and had to stop. I had to get out and just look at what was before me. The clouds caught my eye right away, the white streaks in front of such a blue sky was amazing. This is Lake Superior covered in ice and snow drifts. It looked like whip cream every where.

I am turning 60 years old this year and when I think back on my time here on this earth. What I remember the most are these little moments. I remember making snow angels in the winter, laying in the grass and looking up at the stars on a warm summers night. Feeling the wind on my face as I sit on a beach staring out over the ocean. The smell of the first rain in the spring.

But these are not just memories, they are in the forefront of my mind all the time. I have never stopped searching for these moments that show me what life is really about, for me. They are the gifts given to us to remind us that life is meant to be enjoyed.

This photo below is a moment in time that no one else has seen but us, until today. This is a drone shot of Lake Superior, frozen in time, rising ice breaks along the edge of the lake, as far as you can see. The beauty of creation.

Where am I going with this thought you might be wondering? Well, I worked some hard jobs during my younger years as well, I stood on cement floors for 12 hours a day at a factory for many years. It was very hard work, but I don’t remanence about those days at all.

The same as I don’t get caught up in the politics that surround us now a days. I am aware of what is going on, but I don’t have time to focus to much on that, it is a distraction that takes me away from the One who matters most, to me. The only One who said ” Let there be Light“, ” I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will guide thee with mine eye”

Through His eyes is how I see, the value of a Moment

He will guide Thee
