“But life isn’t just the sum of our big decisions. It’s about all the little decisions we make from one minute to the next too…” this statement made me think of that Annie Dillard quote and as I read on you read my mind! So many good thoughts on time here, Charity. I’ve moved into a different place than I used to be regarding how I “spend” my time. It’s not really a currency, is it? I try to savor instead of looking for a fruitful outcome to the moments. It makes me feel closer to God, even if I’m just “being.” Thanks for such a thoughtful post, friend.
Laura — Thank you for your beautiful comment. I love that idea of savoring instead of spending. It moves time from being so transactional and more like a gift we can embrace. Hope summer is giving you lots of moments to savor!
How exciting about the writing opportunity in the new Message Bible!
