the delightful art of savoring
I spent a lot of time debating whether or not I was going to do the write 31 days challenge again this year. I'm too busy. At least that's what I keep telling myself. But I think that's why I need to do this. I need to have a few moments of sanity in my life every day. So I have decided to tackle this challenge again, and to be intentional about making time every day to do this.
May I introduce you to 31 days of Savoring. My goal over the next 31 days is to create space and time through the beautiful art of savoring.
After you get past all the food related definitions of savor you come to the one that say: "to give oneself the enjoyment of." This is what I delight in doing. I delight in finding the enjoyment in the small moments of everyday life because eternity dwells in those moments.
It really kills me when people talk about how we need to find Jesus so that when we die we can have eternal life. Jesus didn't die so that I could have eternal life when I die. He died and rose again so that I could have eternal life right here, right now for the rest of eternity! Why should I wait until I die to experience and enjoy the full, abundant, eternal life that He has to give me?
For me experiencing full, abundant, eternal life is about finding eternity in the everyday moments, and I do that through the art of savoring, through giving myself the enjoyment of the everyday moments.
At this season in my life, I feel a little desperate to capture these moments and hold them in my heart, to not let the beauty of life be overrun by the busy-ness, to hold onto the eternal moments that I find. I hope you will join me on this journey.
Blessings.
