There are many “destinations”
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all. (2 Thessalonians 3:16 ESV)
If you get so focused on reaching the destination, you may neglect to enjoy the ride. There are many “destinations” that you’re focused on right now: completing certain tasks, getting to items on your to-do list, and much more. But in your journey to work on these things, don’t forget to enjoy the steps along the way.
Stop and think of one thing that you love about this moment. Is it the quietness of the day? Or perhaps the fact that you have a chance to sit still and alone to read these words? Is it that you feel healthy and strong? Or is it that beautiful plant that you just admired? Think about some of the joys of this moment. […]
Next, think about your job, or how a regular day goes for you. Consider all that you do in the day, and all that you’re focused on accomplishing. Now, pull away from that scene and think of all the joys that you get to experience in a regular day, but which you never noticed before. […]
Think on these joys and determine to discover more of them. Ask Me and I will help you to discover the joy in every moment of every day. —Jesus [1]
Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you've got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it. —Maya Angelou
