All We Have Is Now:

We can only live now, this moment. We can not erase the mistakes we made yesterday or bring back the good times we had. We cannot know what tomorrow will require of us nor can we insure future security and happiness. Now is what we have, and now is EVERYTHING!

We can follow out food plan now. We can abstain for the moment. We can deal with the problems that confront us today as best we can, trusting God to guide us. We can be in touch with our Higher Power only in the present.

As we focus on the present moment, we live it deeper, and we derive a satisfaction that we did not know when we were regretting the past and worrying about the future. Whatever happens, NOW is all I can manage and all I need.

Thank you Lord, for this present moment!
