Today Is A Gift

2020 today is a gift.jpg

This week I have had a number of conversations with people whose stories are hard to swallow; from a mom who shared she lost a child to suicide, a friend with ACC who has it for the second time, a mom whose child has a rare brain cancer, to a teen who is so stressed out its hard for them to meet each day.

Hearing their stories is heavy, yet We are here to love one another and walk beside each other through the sunny and stormy days in life. And speaking with each of them reminds me of this simple truth that can escape us when when we are in the sunny days.

This day is a gift.

I invite you to join me to...

pause. breathe. pray.

We do not know what tomorrow holds. And when we aren’t close to the edge ourselves, or near others who are, we can easily get swept away in the busy and miss the simple truth that today is a gift. May we take this moment to slow down. To feel the breath in our lungs, our feet on the floor, and really look at the person beside us. May we be present in this day, as a gift to ourselves, and those around us. May we walk through this day unwrapping every breath, smile, and interaction as the gift they are💕🙏💕

With love and hope,
Shawn
