Miracle Of The Moment

Here's a song written and sung by a guy called Steven Curtis Chapman. I thought that it would be a good reminder to all of us to slow down sometimes and just count our blessings. We don't have to worry about the future or be broken cuz of our past. The only moment we can do anything about is the one right here right now. Let's cherish that. Let's forget about our troubles and struggles and resolve to be better people. Right here. Right now.

It’s time for letting go
All of our if only’s
‘Cause we don’t have a time machine
And even if we did
Would we really want to use it?
Would we really want to go change everything?
‘Cause we are who and where and what we are for now
And this is the only moment we can do anything about

Chorus:
So breathe it in and breathe it out
Listen to your heartbeat
There’s a wonder in the here and now
It’s right there in front of you
And I don’t want you to miss
The miracle of the moment

There’s only one who knows
What’s really out there waiting
In all the moments yet to be
And all we need to know
Is He’s out there waiting
To Him the future’s history
And He has given us a treasure called right now
And this is the only moment we can do anything about
And if it brings you tears

Then taste them as they fall
And let them soften your heart
And if it brings you laughter
Then throw your head back
And let it go, let it go
You gotta let it go
Listen to your heartbeat

We don't need to spend our entire lives planning for the future or carrying our regrets. We don't have to keep up with the rat race. Cuz when we do, we cease to see the beauty that's around us, and life becomes nothing more than a mundane routine, day in and day out. But lets lift our eyes above the mundane and look to the skies. Perhaps we'll see a little secret. A little hidden beauty. Small little miracles of the moment.
