Project 365 - Day 5
Who says God can't get a message to you through a cookie? I had Chinese takeout for dinner and when I'm finished, I always like to see what little nugget of wisdom my fortune cookie holds. I don't believe in fortunes or astrology or any of that, it just amuses me how most of the fortunes don't make sense. The message above came in my fortune cookie tonight and it could not be more appropriate.
I struggle with living in and enjoying each moment because I'm always too focused on 'the big picture'. I plan, organize, analyze, and prioritize everything in my life, so much so that I often feel like life is passing me by while I'm planning my life away. I found a quote a long time ago that said "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans". That has always stuck with me because that is how I feel a lot of the time. I am so consumed with what will happen in the future that I am not enjoying my life now. My Mom knows how I am and is always telling me that I need to live in the present and enjoy each day because we are not guaranteed tomorrow. I guess I just needed a cookie to confirm that message for me :)
that's a cool picture with the fortune and the faded look of the takeout food box
ReplyDeleteI, like you, don't take any stock in horoscopes or fortune cookies but I do know God uses lots of ways to affirm his love for us and how special we are to him. I'm like you, I plan too much; I need to remember to let go and let God
