Cherish the Moments and Make the Best of Today

Sandi Holman responds to recent news—Dolly Parton's death and the illnesses or deaths of friends—to press a practical spiritual point: life can change suddenly, so live today fully. She cites Proverbs 27:1 to underline that tomorrow is not guaranteed and describes personal shifts toward valuing each day.

How regret and forgiveness connect to daily living

Holman recounts an experience of being judged by a family member and choosing to forgive as an act of will. She notes the difference between outward forgiveness and inner healing: it can take time before the heart stops remembering an offense. When regret resurfaces, she says the Lord spoke to her with a series of reminders and directives aimed at releasing guilt and moving forward.

Core messages the author attributes to the Lord

• "Do you believe that whatever you give will come right back to you?" Holman reports the Lord asked this while prompting her to treat others as she wants to be treated.

• She relays a call to "celebrate your differences" and to "take care not to criticize anyone" for seeing things differently. That, she says, puts a person on the path of obeying the injunction "Judge not!"

Practical implications and spiritual assurances

The piece is addressed primarily to fellow believers—"My beloved Chosen ones"—with pastoral advice and prophetic instruction. The tone is admonitory but consoling: it calls for personal change (less judgment, less performance orientation) while offering spiritual support (divine guidance and healing).

• Reevaluate nightly habits that sacrifice rest to "make the most of time," seeking balanced living.
• Practice forgiveness as a deliberate act of will, and allow time for the heart to heal.
• Replace judgment and criticism with curiosity about others' differences.
• Identify signs of performance-driven living and intentionally accept personal limitations and gifts.
• Pray or reflect on guidance for next steps rather than trying to control outcomes.

Holman's message is a call to live the present with intentionality, to release regret through forgiveness and self-acceptance, and to trust that God leads and opens appropriate doors as you move forward.
