A Moment of Life - Daily Dose of Wisdom

People talk about “wasting time,” or even about “killing time.” Neither term is accurate. Time awaits you to give it life.

A moment flashes into existence, anticipating your breath of life. After all, for this purpose you came here, to be at this time, in this moment, so that you will make it a living moment, a moment that has meaning, and a meaning connected to the One who created time itself.

Grant it that life, and this moment will endure forever. Fail to do so, and it has already left, as a moment that never was.

Abraham, we are told, was “come of days,” meaning that he entered into every day with his entire being. You too, must strive to to make every moment a moment of life.

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

May it be Your will, G-d, our G-d and the G-d of our fathers, that You should lead us in peace and direct our steps in peace, and guide us in peace, and support us in peace, and cause us to reach our destination in life, joy, and peace . Save us from every enemy and ambush, from robbers and wild beasts on the trip, and from all kinds of punishments that rage and come to the world. May You confer blessing upon the work of our hands and grant me grace, kindness, and mercy in Your eyes and in the eyes of all who see us, and bestow upon us abundant kindness and hearken to the voice of our prayer, for You hear the prayers of all. Blessed are You G-d, who hearkens to prayer.
