Waiting and hoping

It seems that we are all waiting on something. Today, we are anticipating a snow storm in our area. While this wouldn't be an issue in most of the country, here in the deep south, a one inch snow storm can shut us down for days. We've had several hits and misses concerning snow storms and folks' anticipation is extremely heightened.

Anticipation is an amazing thing. It drives us and moves us and causes us to feel and sense and live. We anticipate things, and that anticipation motivates us to keep on believing. We see it when we plan a vacation, when we expect a birth, when a big event (i. e. graduation, marriage, retirement, etc.) is on the horizon. Anticipation is an exciting thing.

Today's quote is just a thought I had about anticipation: It seems we spend our whole life waiting on some miracle, never realizing that life is the miracle.

Life is such a blessing and miracle in and of itself. We often lose sight of that because we expect it to be so much more; we are fooled into wrong thinking because of the false lives projected by Hollywood and in romance novels. But, life is such a miracle!

It is perfectly fine to get excited and anticipate great things. But, don't lose sight of the miracle that everyday life truly is. Now, let's get this snow thing over with...

Be Blessed,
