Looking For What?

I'm not that old but I have spent considerable time with people who are sorting out their lives. People seem to be always looking for something. They have a discontent about them most of the time. They think they need more money, or they think they need a different job, or their not content with their spouse or children or parents or siblings or some other segment of their life. We humans so often seem to be looking for something and we don't know what.
I always think about life and things about life. I'm not saying I would want to return to the poverty Marsha and I lived in during our early marriage, but it will say with conviction that that time was among the happiest of our 46 years of marriage. Another time when life was particularly great was when I was away during the week attending seminary and working in a group home.  Family has always been a special gift because we invested in it. The picture is a dinner out with the four grandchildren. What a great treasure we had with those relationships and I continue to enjoy those treasured moments.  Many people say that don't have enough time and yet we both worked constantly during those years and had so little tile together, but by choosing the right priorities life was so good.
We always have only today. This is the moment when life is experienced. The more of these moments we spend looking for what, the more moments we miss that can be the best in life. I'm sure glad I didn't miss those great years in our lives because I was looking for something else.  Are you missing life looking for what?
