You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in
your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
Psalm 139:16

Captured

The rosy sunset began seeping across the sky. I quickly grabbed the
camera, excited for an opportunity to capture and hold onto the
glorious sight.

The camera had come with an instruction manual. The section on how to
best photograph subjects and landscapes, etc., was spelled out in
great detail. The thick booklet described how to capture the moment.

Today, at the grocery store, I saw a pre-schooler in the parking
lot. She was bent over, completely fascinated by something on the
ground. Maybe a bug, or a leaf, or a rock, or a piece of paper.
Whatever it was, she was trying, without success, to get her mother's
attention to come look at it.

The child was oblivious to the fact that Mom wanted to get into the
store and get the grocery shopping done, back home, unpacked, and put
away. She did not realize Mom had many other things to do today, She
was totally captured by the moment.

God is in every moment we have. How awesome to be so enthralled with
the moment. There used to be a phrase, "Stop and smell the roses."
Each moment is truly a gift from the Lord.

Today, may I be filled with gratitude, to my Creator, and see the
beauty and awe of "the moment", and capture and savor the gift.
