Embrace Each Day

Description: 
This message by Joel Osteen is a good reminder for us to stop and truly embrace each and everyday, and everyone in our lives.

"Sometimes, our days can be so full and busy that we forget how precious and fragile life here on earth really is. It can be so easy to allow little things to creep in and steal our peace and joy. Maybe something doesn’t go our way, or someone says something upsetting. Even traffic can cause us to get our focus off if we let it. We have to remember that each day is a gift. If we choose to focus on what’s wrong, we’ll miss the beauty that each day has to offer.

I encourage you today; don’t let the precious moments of life pass you by. Don’t wait for holidays and birthdays to show people that you care. Remember, each day is unique and irreplaceable. You have been given time that can be invested or wasted; hours that can be used or misused. That’s why the psalmist prayed to God, “Teach us to number our days.” He was saying, “Teach us to value every moment we’ve been given.” As you keep a proper perspective, you’ll gain a heart of wisdom."

Thank you for this! With the recent death of my Mother, the fragility of life has become much more clear to me. I believe we all need to live each day as if it were our last.....because it may truly be!
Take care....Jan

Oh Jan, I am so very sorry for your loss and express my sincerest condolences. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. You are so very right in that it's these moments that really show us how fragile and precious life truly is. And, to live life as if each day were our last. Very profound and true! Thank you! Wishing you a day filled with peace and positivity.

Sending you many positive vibes and wishing you all of the best.

Thanks Pup this is always great to remember

Since my last dr. appt. I am most grateful for every little thing and I hope to make the best out of each day that I have, pain or no pain.

It could always be worse.

Reminds me of the saying "you dont' know what you got til it's gone"
i am trying to KNOW what I do have before it's gone

This life is a gift and it is given to us and then taken back...I am not afraid of it any longer...

helps to make the most of it, then there are no regrets

I lost too much time to depression, well I feel a post coming on so I will probably just start a new one.
thanks Pup!

Pegasus, what an incredibly beautiful outlook and attitude, I love your words; "i am trying to KNOW what I do have before it's gone". That is truly the key. It's all about embracing each moment and each day, I truly believe that. I have to remind myself of this often, so that I don't take anything or anyone for granted.

Sending you many positive vibes and wishing you all of the best.

Hey Puppy, great post and I couldn't agree more! Some of you know how "stressful" my life is/has been, but I make sure we laugh alot and we do simple little things that are good for the soul and pure of heart!!

Jan, I'm so very sorry about the passing of your Mom. Truly I understand as I lost my Mom 4 years ago next month. I send you my deepest sympathy and will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending hugs, Suzee

Amen Pup!
trying to live a life with no regrets

there is what happens to us and there is how we handle it

all that matters is how we handle it
then no one and nothing can touch us!

for the Spirit is not bound by the rules of the flesh..

Thank you Suzee......I am still numb, and it seems surreal. But I am doing OK. The hardest moments are when I have the thought that "I think I will call Mom", without thinking.
Thank you again....Jan ♥
