The Los Angeles Province Fall DESIGNS magazine will be in the mail soon! The theme this season is “The Power of the Present Moment.”
Many of our sisters and associates sent in beautiful reflections of their experience with how to get into the present moment. We were not able to fit all these pearls of wisdom in the magazine, so we are highlighting them here.
This one is from Sister Frances Baker, CSJ:
I like to think of being in the present moment as finding God’s faithful love in every moment of our lives. We live with awareness and gratitude or miss out. Imagine If Isaac Newton was not present to the falling apple, or the psalmist was not alert to the graced moment.
All day long there are touches of grace. I can find achingly blessed moments in living simply, alert to beautiful sunsets, sparkling dew drops, a favorite symphony, first taste of morning coffee, a friend’s greeting, or even in moments of reconciliation. Alive with gratitude for all that is, I discover the ability to ride the rapids of life, taking nothing for granted.
