Through the journey of life and the seasons that we experience we have to learn how to invest each moment wisely. What this means is even if the season is rough or smooth sailing, we should value the time we have with our family and friends. Of course, this is not as easy to do when you really do not understand why the circumstance is unfolding the way it is. We have to keep our focus on what matters in life through everything. Our relationship with God, family, and friends should never fall off but in every situation look for ways to enhance our closeness.
During this summer, we have had the opportunity to spend valuable time with family and have been having fun times with friends and neighbors. This has made everything else that we are preparing for even more enjoyable and worthwhile. We are thankful for both our family and friends and each time we get to visit them or vice versa, it is always refreshing. That is what it should be. If you say other wise, keep in mind everything in life is always what we make of it.
The key component that has our outlook on this matter is the fact that we know God is in the midst loving in us and through us. He has been going before us and has been with us in every experience (Joshua 1:9). We have purposed in our hearts to make the best of every moment and God has given us the grace, faith, and that unspeakable joy even in the not so great situations. With this, the next opportunity you are given to spend time with family or friends (perhaps today as it is Independence Day), for a brief moment stop and give thanks to God. Then, quietly listen to His voice to see what you can contribute to the moment to make it a memorable occasion.
