The Moment

Today's Encouraging Word and Inspirational Message is brought to you by Penny Hurley, on behalf of the Compassionate Care Network.

Scripture: "For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace."

Romans 8: 6

Music: "Still / PEACE" Hillsong Worship

Message: The Moment

"Live in the moment" ...

We often hear and read this brief wisdom. It is offered as a balm, a comfort, a path to peace and understanding of self.

I stand in awe when I have read the works of, or rarely, met a human being who is truly able to carry out this mindfulness as a way of life.

Although I deeply believe in its wisdom, I struggle and sometimes resist to practice.

The moment is all we have, with the past behind and the future unknown. Such common words, yet the essence of truth.

My self-taught surfing lessons began eight years ago... I will be a student the rest of my days on this planet.

Peace to all
