BE PRESENT

Craig Harrison's Coffee with Jesus reflections provide a healthy cup of daily inspiration to start your day. Cover art by

As I sit out on my porch this beautiful morning, having a cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking how important our attitude about LIFE is! During times of trouble, it is easy to wonder what there is to do, to feel confined, to want your old life back!

Life is not meant to be endured, life is to be enjoyed and embraced! We all go through trials and tribulations, but life can be exciting if we strive to live in the present moment.  When life slows down, people tend to dwell on the past or get nervous for the future, and they miss the PRESENT.

As I sit here, I try to move my mind from the “should’ve been” or the “might’ve been” or the “maybe it will happen” to be PRESENT in this very moment.  This moment is perfect, and I am here, and God is here.  I must embrace what is instead of merely enduring.

I know that God will bring me some SACRED interruptions, (that is what I call situations, people, and plans I did not count on today) and I will embrace them.  Today, Jesus and I may have a second cup of coffee.  I think I want to embrace this moment. 

Have a blessed day!
