The best things in life are the in-between. We say, if only I get through this, if I make it through then everything will be good. But when we do that, we are missing out on what is happening in the in-between.
God has put blessings for us in the in-between. If you were so focused on what has happened in your past or what is going to happen in the future, YOU MISS YOUR BLESSING IN THE MOMENT. Romans 8:28 tells us that all things work together for the good.
Some of my moments that I learned to focus on the in-between is:
- Not concentrating on my kids growing up, but enjoying the moments with them, like teaching them how to drive, experiencing their life in college, helping them move and their new careers.
- My cancer struggle, I chose not to concentrate on what was happening and the uncertain future at the time, but take each day and live it to the fullest. Now I don't look back but I have learned to pay attention to the details around me. The beauty in the world, not the ugly.
So don't focus on getting through BUT focus on what is happening in the in-between.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28 (NIV) The Living Bible translation words it this way: “And we know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into his plans.”
Love to all,
