I have been through a whole long spell of feeling like I am in the wrong place and not enjoying my time fully in this place where I have for sure been divinely placed. It took me a minute to realise that I indeed was living in anticipation of joy and happiness instead of simply being in that moment in that season.
Being present in a season and moment can be hard especially if like me it doesn’t ryhme with your goals or plans. But hey, if you have prayed and worked for the future that you hope for, isn’t it likely that you are exactly where God wants you to be ?
The question is will you lift up your head and look at the stars? Look up around and see how much good is going for you. Count your blessings and name them one by one. Appreciate the small graces, the little moments , the precious major not so major fleeting joys like lying on the couch with your friend or watching the sunset with your spouse, hearing the giggles of your child, niece or nephew or even child of a stranger, having basic not so common items in life, breathing freely and comfortably (God knows we appreciate this more now because of COVID).
The point is there is a lot to be grateful for in every season because it is like my God that during winter the lemons produce the most fruit. So, God knows where we are and what we need when. The seasons are ordered by Him and that is why nothing passes unbeknownst to Him.
May we receive the grace to enjoy true joy in the beauty of every moment and to savor the gift in every season, embrace the place where we are and be truly grateful for what we have.
