Living in the Now

We can never live in the past as if it were our true home…. And it is a good thing that God draws this veil over the past even without our asking. In so doing, He allows us to live today for tomorrow with just the few memories we need of what was.

-Karl Barth

Living in the present moment is always a challenge for me because I seem to spend a lot of time planning for the future-either mine or someone else's. Fortunately living in the past holds little temptation for me. My challenge is in figuring out how to live in the present while planning for the future!
