He said, "I have lived my life too far ahead, always focused on the future, the next task, the next job. When I was having the happiest, most fulfilling times in my ministry, I didn't know, I wasn't aware, I didn't cherish those times, because I was always on to the next big thing. I didn't recognize God's best blessings when they came by." Dad encouraged me not to make that same mistake, but I still need to hear the call sometimes to slow down, to reflect, to savor the blessings of each new day, enjoying the view every step of the journey.
