Don't Miss Your Life

Our days have a way of fooling us.

Most of them look so unassuming and normal when they arrive, so very ordinary that we often don't care for them properly. We take them lightly. We squander them. We shortchange them. We fritter them away, believing that they are uneventful, that they are of little consequence, that they are disposable.

We spend these seemingly ordinary days believing that life is somewhere behind or ahead of us, in the things we've done or will one day do.

This day may seem quite ordinary to you, but it is anything but that. On every square inch of the planet, history is being made today.

Today,
Someone is being born.
Someone is skinning their knee on the playground.
Someone is meeting their first love.
Someone is getting a grave diagnosis.
Someone is discovering their unique gift.
Someone is watching their marriage crumble.
Someone is taking their first steps.
Someone is bursting with pride at the sight of it.
Someone is rearing back their head and exploding with laughter.
Someone is learning how to walk again.
Someone is coming back home.
Someone is grieving deeply.
Someone is finding Jesus.
Someone is losing faith.
Someone is regretting words they cannot take back.
