Spiritual Awakening: Moment By Moment!!!

As I watched Villanova capture another NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship I started to think back to their first one when they were the underdogs against a very powerful Georgetown Team and how sports is a great metaphor for life as you have to go moment by moment. Each year I watch One Shining Moment and I think of all the shots made and all the shots missed and how in one moment their is joy on one sideline and on the other sideline the pain of losing and how the people involved in these moments will have their lives changed forever.

Jay Wright understands all too well about living life moment by moment and being an action taker. In 2001 Wright left Hofstra University as Basketball

Coach to go to Villanova and as they say the rest is history. Jay took his can do positive attitude to Villanova and began to build a championship caliber team which resulted in Villanova winning a National Men’s Basketball Championship for the second time in 3 years. As I watched Jay Wright cut down the nets  I started to think what moments am I creating that will forever be etched in my mind to draw strength from when things get challenging? I then began to  think about how every moment that we have can shape and determine the legacy that we will leave behind. One key question to ponder as we awaken spiritually is what will we be remembered for and how will our legacy be seen by others? In awakening spiritually we need to use all the minutes that we are given to be of service and value to others so as to create a legacy of hope and healing.
