God is now. The gift of living in the light of love is the power of being present in this time.  In my daily meditation and prayer dates with God I have had fulfilling moments of being present in the present moment.  More importantly, as I go through my day I am able to be where I am.  It sounds like a small thing but given that there is no past or future except in our minds, where else are we really?  To me being present in time is about acceptance.  It is about letting go of things as I think they should be and being in the flow of how they are.  I also realize that if it is not something I like, when I let go of wanting it to be different and accept it, it passes much quicker.  It is about changing my view of what is.  I can make steps to change but the only thing that changes in the moment is my acceptance.  I can choose to be with myself in this moment as someone who is fighting or accepting.  The great things about moments in time is we get so many of them we can experiment with who we are being in different ones and choose more or less of that way of being as we go.  The other day I was down for the count with a head cold and when I started to feel a bit more normal, I stepped outside my apartment to get some fresh air.  Thank God for nature. Even in the urban jungle I am I can always find some of it.  I took a walk around the neighborhood I live in and found a sidewalk that had some green grass and took a moment to lean up again the tall tree in the shade.  I took my shoes off and stood there with my bare feet in the grass.  I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths and soaked in the moment.  I opened my eyes as I felt the warmth of the sun hitting my skin and saw this yellow and black butterfly flying around the houses around me. I love butterflies and I so rarely see them.  It was not in my plan to stay home for a couple of days and rest my body.  I have lots of things to do, don’t you know?   Being present in that moment in time I lost track of time and remembered life is about being, not doing.

If God is with us now, how many moments in time would you like to be with love today?  Share in the comments.
