Some wise words from one of my favorite authors, Edith Schaeffer:
“A balance that is important to consider…is the balance between the danger of wasting the “now” or of considering that everything is going to be static, with no future!
Don’t waste this hour, Don’t waste today…Think hard-what can you do now in this combination that you can’t do in ten years, in five years, even next year? Then do it!….
What does this summer have for you and what does today have that you can do, that won’t be possible five years from now, two years from now, next week?
Someday all that you can do today or this week will only be a memory. Let it be a memory of what you did do…
What if we have to move; what would you want to do first? What do you enjoy about this garden, this house, these books, that if it all were taken away, you’d wish you were here to do it for just one hour?…
Don’t waste the now…”
~Edith Schaeffer, from her book What is a Family.
