We can sail across the sea to a city with one King.

In the coming and goings of life, we lose sight. We relish in the past and the future, but not the moment. We keep our eyes on where we want to be, not taking in the place where we are blessed to be. Our focus is gone. Our eyes and minds and hearts are distracted. We are weary from running towards an endless goal. We are burdened from the thoughts of instability. Where has our peace gone?

Sit and relish the moment you are in now.

Not when you finish reading this. Not when you finish homework. Not when the children are asleep and the dog is out and the house is locked and the radio is off.

Now.

We have grown so accustom to asking for more we forget to be thankful for where we are.

For what we are.

For who we are.

For what we have and what we see.

For the places we have come from and the places that taught us something.

For the love we receive.

For the love we can give.

For the day we have been given.

We were born to manifest the beauty within us. We, however, cannot do so without taking into account our blessings. Being content will radiate our joy. Being joyful complements our contentment.

People pass by in their hustle and bustle. When will their "now" moment be? Do not wait until you are already gone from one place to appreciate what you had there. Live in that moment, knowing full and well your next moment will come. When it does, enjoy it all the more, for what it is and for the peace within it. Let the heaviness and the burdens be lifted as you indulge in each solitary moment.
