As youth workers, we live for the next event…
Some of us are planning a summer trip
Some of us are planning an end of the year bash.
Some of us are finishing the year strong…
And for some of us, we’re just hoping to survive june so we can sit down, lament where we’ve gone wrong and pray that God will not let catastrophe come upon us again.
It’s completely normal to have something to look forward to—be it summer, the next big thing or what’s around the corner…
But try not to forget the here and now.
This weekend, I enjoyed a weekend off with my family.
We went to a wedding.
We visited grandparents.
We went for breakfast with friends.
It was great.
And it was mainly because we chose not to worry about tomorrow.
Yes, there are many stacks of paperwork, lessons, obligations and such to worry about the day back in the office…
But for now, it’s best to enjoy the full portion of life. Tomorrow will come, but today will be lost if we disregard it. So, in light of that—go and enjoy your day wherever you are and with whatever you’re doing today.
Cause if you’re so stuck in tomorrow, you’ll slip out of today and miss the best times in life.
Reminds me of a thought in Ecclesiasties…
The best thing we can do is to enjoy eating, drinking, and working. I believe these are God's gifts to us,
and no one enjoys eating and living more than I do.
Ecc 2:24-25
