I was reading one of the article that Grace sent. It was pretty meaningful that got me to think about it. This article name is called “Don’t Carpe Diem”
Carpe Diem seems like a big word to me.. I mean only to me not you! hehee… Getting the reference from Wikipedia.
Carpe diem is a phrase from a Latin poem by Horace (see “Source” section below) that has become an aphorism. It is popularly translated as “seize the day”. Carpe literally means “to pick, pluck, pluck off, cull, crop, gather”, but Ovid used the word in the sense of, “to enjoy, seize, use, make use of”
While reading this article, it got me to think about how we have never really enjoying every moments of our lives… The people we spent time with.. The people we met only once…The people who were once our mentor.. Or even the people we fall in love before… We somehow took all of these for granted… We never appreciate and never take everything for real…
This article talked about two different types of time. 1. Chronos time is what we live in. 2. Kairos time and that is God’s time. it’s time outside of time. It’s those magical moments in which time stands still.
These Kairos moments leave as fast as they come but I mark them!
When I have this artcle in my mind and I listened to my Senior Pastor Preached today… I really wished time stood still and let me really enjoy every moment… There are moments where I overlooked some people or things which I never appreciate. That moment just come and go!
In the past, I was taught about grabing every Kairos Moment eagerly. When you missed it, you really missed it! Nowadays, I really wished that i am not so busy that God got to throw a brick at me to catch my attention. I wished i will never come to a place where poeple are throwing brick at me to catch my attention to tell me ” you missed the Kairos Moment”
Every moment is precious and we should treasure it all.
Every seconds where we meet people, we should treasure it all..
Every minute where ur mentors disciple us, we shouldd treasure it all.
Every Kairos Moment we experienced is precious !
If I had a couple Kairos moments during the day, I call it a success!
