in every moment

Breath and smile. I meditate on these two simplest things that I can do in every moment and everywhere. Sometimes people and even myself ask, why do I smile and I said, "I simply smile because I enjoy the moment." Yes, I have been diving the ocean of simplicity recently. Since it is when I am becoming too sophisticate and lofty; making myself somewhat busy with many cares, worries, etc. then I started being distracted and lost. Joy and peace being in every moment because it is the Lord God which own and lead me into His good will. It is the assurance of Hope in him which make us stand firmly and surrender wholly our lives to be hidden in Him.

Something that my Dad said to me always encourage me to bear everything (or in the language that I prefer: to be peacefully present at the moment) in peace and joy, accept everything that happens to you, good and bad, with the same cheerfulness (not resignation), the same satisfaction with God's plan for your life.

Flow with the moment in trust and keep doing what is right -no more and no less- ... because God will certainly sustain us and be with us in every moment in life, whether it's pleasant or not. At times, it comes to me that my own limited conceptual minds which make me becomes so choosy such as, "I want it that way, and not this way" or "I wished I can be in different time and place" or "If only I was born... , etc." There are temptation to project myself into the past or too far into the future to skip the 'undesirable' reality. But what we have and what we can work out is the present. Therefore it's very important to be present and live the moment, abide in God and follow Him here and now. As the consequences, we unload and put out the unnecessary loads from the past and even from the future, simply breath and smile... waiting, see and be ready whenever the Lord ask us and we say yes. When we fail and fall, we flee to Him because He is always here and readily to raise us up! Glory to God!
