Savor the sweetness of the gifts you are receiving from it

It was a powerful moment.

Looking in the mirror before I went to bed last Saturday night I had this feeling of incredible joy, and a feeling of sadness at the same time.

My wife and I had just returned from a wonderful date at the opera. It was so much fun! We were celebrating the 12-year anniversary of our first date. And what a wonderful 12 years it has been. We had a wonderful evening laughing, sharing some of the wonderful experiences we have had together and feeling hopeful about our future. My relationship with my wife has transformed me into a better human being.

As I looked at the mirror, along with the gratitude, came a realization that everything I’m seeing and experiencing in my life will eventually go away. Either my life will end, or the world around me will change. It’s impossible to not have this happen. It’s not that I’m being morbid or negative. It’s just a fact of life.

As I continued to look at myself, along with the momentary sense of fear came a sense of immense joy. I realized that I had another day of life of life. This beautiful day was given to me as a gift from my Creator who loves me. While I have no idea how many more of these days I have left, I had this one.

My wife and I were mentioning on the way out of the car last night that the past 12 years have flown by. We also recognized that the next 12 years are going to go by even faster. I don’t know why time seems to go by faster with age, but it is a fact.

I’m grateful that I have another day with my wife. These 12 years have been the best and most satisfying of my life. I’m happier than I’ve ever been, and I’m experiencing the blessing of staying with someone who is as in love with me as I am with her.

Sometimes change comes slowly, and sometimes change comes in an instant. For some, it’s the slow deterioration of the body that we only notice after looking at pictures of ourselves from 20 years ago. For some, it happens in an instant because of an accident of some kind.

I’m working on accepting my body as it is. I’m working on having compassion for the effects that aging has on my mind. I’m also doing my best to have gratitude for being given another day of life.

This is a beautiful moment in time. I pray that you can see the gifts in it. I pray that you can understand how important your life is at this moment in time. You are loved. You are important. You are in fact a reason why this moment is amazing. And, without you, it wouldn’t be quite as beautiful.
