I am re-reading a book that I read a few years ago. It is entitled, SoulSalsa, by Leonard Sweet. I like his writing and have for a number of years. He writes in a refreshing, encouraging style that challenges, yes, but lifts you up at the same time. Here is a section from the Make a Moment chapter:
“The quality of a Godly life does not depend on its number of great happenings or big actions but on what happens in it one small moment after another. The soul is made up of an awful lot of moments and a lot of awful moments.
How goes it with your soul? Are you living a truly momentous life? Or are you living unmomentously? Is your year’s supply of “525,600 Minutes” – as the hit musical Rent’s theme song, “Season’s of Love,” puts it – a never-ending chain of meaningless moments, a drizzle of days? Or is each minute you live intensely and rapturously alive?
Living momentously means capturing life’s moments whole, or at least in part, and framing these moments into holy form in such a way that ever thereafter the frame reads, “God was here.” Making a moment is the art of sky-punching, penetrating the heavens to open earth to larger shafts of divine light.”
Don’t just live “in the moment” or “one day at a time” – MAKE A MOMENT!
