Good Morning,
Earlier this evening I saw a McDonalds commercial where Ronald McDonald was carrying around a large picture frame as he walked around town. In each case you could see people, animals, houses, and all sorts of other things within the picture frame as Ronald held it up.
When I saw it and how even though we were just looking at people, animals or things through the empty picture frame, something special resonated. That each moment in our lives is, in effect, a snapshot of our lives.
Pictures mean so much to us.
As we take pictures to keep moments alive in our memories, this commercial showed that the special memories we look to keep are not just the ‘Kodak moments’, but every moment of our lives. That we don’t have to be going through downtown Rome or London, that we could be walking down our own streets or at our local grocery.
That our lives are wondrous and full of amazement and joy in all that we do and encounter. That the mundane is often more than just that if we let it be. We can find joy right besides us.
That even when there are bad times, life is full of good even within the bad, and that often just down the road, there are even more wonders awaiting us.
If we wait for those picture perfect moments in our lives, then we can miss out in the everyday moments which can be just as amazing.
When we wait for perfect, we often miss a lot of the good enough.
Look at each moment of life as a snapshot, and while it may not be stored on a hard drive, photo album or on the web, that it still can be and should be treasured.
Today, I saw my wife, Karen, and I trimming some trees after dinner this evening with our dogs outside with us bounding around the yard. It was a good moment, a special moment. It is a picture that puts a smile on my face, it’s a picture worthy of a frame.
What pictures are you going to look at? You know they are right there waiting for you to admire them.
Enjoy!
