"I need not despise one to enjoy the other, and I need not to be ashamed of missing one while living in another. There will still be times of sadness and much that I will miss. But I do not want to miss the present by missing the past, or miss the here for missing the there." ~ Victor L. Luther (student) On being a TCK (Third Culture Kid - MK)
These words have held and led me through many changes, many moves. Love you, dear friend. Here, now, then, there.
I love that quote...especially the part about I don't want to miss the present by missing the past.
I would add, "I don't want to miss the present by longing for the future"
Here is another: It seems to me that we often, almost sulkily, reject the good that God offers us because, at the moment, we expected some other good. - CS Lewis, Letters to Malcolm
