Sacred Moments

The life I have in this next 24 hours is sacred.  When I view my time and presence as sacred, I re-evaluate how I am using it.  Am I distracted by time wasters, such as watching TV, reading tabloids, or playing video games?  Am I trying to do so many things at once I rush around mindlessly going through the motions of living?  Am I so over-focused on a goal that I can’t see you?  Am I drowning in fear, anger, resentment, jealousy, sadness, or hurt and unable to appreciate the moments of invitation to forgiveness, connection and healing that exist? 

I choose to be mindful in the choices I make of how to invest my time this day and to recognize that your time is also sacred.  I experience gratitude and appreciation when I recognize the precious time you choose to share with me.  I greet this day, this time, and you with awe and honor.
