God's Forgiveness+Today=New Day

What a wonderful weekend this past weekend was. It was nothing out of the ordinary, but it was simple. Such a powerful word to only be made up of six letters.

Friday I got to spend time with some friends, as I should never take that time for granted. On Saturday, Charlie and I enjoyed a peaceful walk at Percy Warner (with no dogs) and a nice dinner just the two of us. Even though our-or should I say my- Saturday plans didn't quite work out like I had originally anticipated, I think the evening was just what "the doctor ordered." I think sometimes in the stresses of work, life in general, and the many responsibilities we now have with two dogs and owning our own home, we forget to sit back and just simply talk. Talk about our childhood, our lives now, our feelings, and our life in the future.

I tend to get to focused on the "next step." I like to think about the future and forget about living in the moment and appreciating my life in the now. No matter what happens today, there is always tomorrow. But I need to make sure I am living life for today and not for tomorrow, or the next year. Life is definitely an adventure, and at times a very very difficult adventure--but with God's love and forgiveness we will always have a new day, whether it be here on earth or in Heaven.

Now maybe its hard to keep life simple, but it sure it necessary to see the importance of the simple things in life. Keeping in mind that my "simple" may not be your "simple."
