We all have a different idea of what this means. At dusk when you’re reflecting on your day, how do you rate whether it was a productive day, a day well-lived, or a wasted day?
Some days are the same as the day before; some are exciting; another day you might be lazy and just kick back; you might have a quiet day contemplating life, spending time with friends or family, or plan out the week ahead. How do you rate these days? They’re your days, you decide.
I’ve had days when the most I could do was rest, heal, and contemplate my life. Looking back, those days made me appreciate the time I’ve spent with family and friends. I also realize that those aren’t wasted days, but time spent savoring love, friendship, and life. Sometimes I just watched the world go by—how the cows grazed in the fields and how the birds gracefully looped and soared through the air.
I don’t live a life that will make a huge impact on the world, but I hope I make a difference in my small corner. Who knows, maybe that corner is just a bit bigger than I think it is. (Colossians 3:22-24)
