All of my life, I have struggled to sit still, be quiet, and just be in the moment while doing the little life things that are at times drudgery. I don't like those moments and I fight them. I want to rush them so they are over quickly, or better yet, skip over them so they don't even happen at all.Today, during one such moment, the thought came that maybe God created these little moments so that we can reflect and think, be still, quiet the moment. That thoughts you need to think might not come any other way, and that maybe embracing those undesirable moments that are part of a dreaded task, might just be little gifts from heaven. So, next time I have such a moment, I will embrace the quiet and see what it brings. Even if it's just to catch my breath and say a prayer and be thankful for life.
