Living in the Moment

Lord Jesus,

My mind is filled with
beautiful memories
and wonderful dreams,
thoughts of things that were
and others that may someday be.

But one eye to the past,
and the other to the future,
leaves me blind to this moment;
thanking you for life,
while refusing to live it.

May I never forget
that the Lord of the past and future
is also Lord in the meantime.

Amen
