Why not today?

So today on my walk, a route I take quite often, I noticed for the first time a hill. It was a great little hill, right off the path with a fairly steep slope that ended at the start of the lake. Looking down the hill between two trees I though, what a great hill for rolling down. Immediately the urge to roll down the hill consumed me. But not today. Why not today? The list of excuses flowed through my thoughts. NO! no excuses. I don't want to live my life with excuses and avoid what would bring joy to my heart. So I took my glasses off, set my keys and phone by a tree and rolled down that hill. Sure, the grass was wet, and I was itchy afterward, but it was GREAT!

So friends, why not today? What have you been putting off and making excuses for? What steps can you make toward that today?

I think this is so important for the times we are in. We need to take advantage of what we have while it's still before us.

"Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people),

Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.

Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is." (Ephesians 5:15-17, amplified)
