Reflection

“We do not remember days, we remember moments.”  ~Cesare Pavese

Prayer

God of grace,

When we take time to contemplate the memories of our lives, it’s not days in their entirety that we remember, but rather glorious and special moments that remain in our hearts and minds. A child’s first birthday party; hearing words such as, “You are cancer free;” looking into the eyes of one’s beloved and saying, “I do;” or seeing those hospital doors open as we finally go home after an extended stay. Such moments are unforgettable and are constantly unfolding from the day we are born, if only we would take time to notice. Help us to notice them today. Amen.

Call to Action

Make a list of special moments that occurred over the last week and put them in a safe place. In six months, read them again and relive the glory of those moments.
