Enjoyment

"Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks in His name."
Hebrews 13:15

Enjoy each moment of each day for what it is!

Earlier this week I read this in a card given to me by one of the ladies in my life group- enjoy each moment of each day for what it is.
Each year we seem to come up with a motto for the week- this is my motto for this year.

When we leave America for Ukraine we leave relaxed (for the most part), rested and ready we can be. It doesn't take too many days of changed plans, yucky weather and many hours spent together for the rest and relaxed to slip away and for us to begin to wonder just how ready we really were!

If we let allow it, the focus can move from the enjoyment of the moment to the aggrevation of the moment.

Enjoy each moment of each day for what it is......here are some moments I've really enjoyed-

Tom calmy meeting the challenges of the day and encouraging us to see the bright side.

Joe always willing to help at a moments notice.

Sebastian asking questions making me think and helping him work through what he is trying to figure out.

Laney meeting challenges head on and not letting them defeat her.

Tanya trying to figure out military time...giving up and telling me it is 15 hundred o'clock!!

Maureen using her singing abilities each day...and not stopping when the sound system did.

Hikaru making us laugh even when he's not trying too make us laugh.

Justine and NingNing- the married couple.....smiling and helping in whatever way is needed.

God is so good....even when the day is challenging! If we take a minute to stop and focus we can find the enjoyment even in the tough times.
