My mother, like all good mothers, is constantly pregnant with good advice. As our wedding date moves ever more close I have in mind a great piece of advice my mom would share with me when I was young. Mom was always quick to advise me not to wish my life away. This advice seems to carry a special weight to it these days. It is difficult not to think about what comes next when so many big events await. Our wedding is in two weeks and we move in four, and as the days come and go it is easy to live only for those dates. However, in doing that the normal days are missed.
As I began to write this blog I was sitting on the grass at Youth Front West in the midst of Jr. High Camp. God created everything I could see - the grass, the sky, the trees. I could feel the wind and the ground and the bark of the tree as it pressed against my back. As all of good creation eased itself into my senses I was reminded of mom's great advice. If I were to live only for tommorrow I would miss all the special blessings for today.
