Thru the Motions

We were doing our MMA strikes and blocks and punches, and the instructor reminded us not to just go through the motions, but get into the reality of the situation.

Getting into my car, as the radio kicked on I hear the words "I don't wanna go through the motions...." and I smiled.

I hear ya.

I don't want to go through the motions either...

Thank You, God for all of those people You have put in my path that remind me the life is so much more than getting by.

Help me to savor it. To live intentionally.

Help me to give all that I have to give, and stand with arms open wide for all You have to offer.
