Living in the moment

Looking at my dogs, I'm reminded of what Cesar the Dog Whisperer said on his show. 

"Dogs live in the present."

They are just a small part of creation, and they don't worry about the future. 

I would like to live in the present, forgetting the past, and not worry about the future. 

How much happier would we all be if we learned to be grateful and live in the moment? 

That's not to say we shouldn't give the future some thought and planning and goal-setting.  If we follow what God says, we will write down our goals.  (Habakkuk chapter 2).

So as I am snowed in with my dogs, cozy on their beds, I will put pen to paper and write out goals for 2011. 

I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me.
