Not For A Moment
It was 4AM, my husband was still in bed, which is very unusual. My mind wandered to all that we had to do being Easter Sunday and then I realized...it's April 18th, the Monday after Resurrection Sunday. We had already made it through the big day. Like a wedding, the months of preparation were behind us and the event was over in a flash and I was hardly present in the moment for rushing from one thing to the next.
As my husband awakened I said, "We didn't take in a moment. We never sat all day and shared a family meal. I didn't even get a picture with our daughter and I was actually wearing make up. The music, the sermon, the baptisms...I missed it all. It was 10 PM when I turned on the computer and was able to watch the service." As my heart was saddening the Lord whispered, "But you were with Me. You and your daughter taught the 4-5th Sunday school class about Me. All the labor before and after was for Me and those you prayed would come to love me. Not a moment was wasted." Telling my husband what I'd just heard in my heart, he said, "Jesus always knows what to say to you,"
The word moment triggered the remembrance of a beautiful song by Meredith Andrews and the lyric that references how God is constant and always with us. We don't have to have the best seat in the house for a performance. We just have to be with Him wherever He calls us... in the moment.
