A moment-by-moment eternal perspective
It's much easier to think eternally or view interactions and life happenings from a perspective of faith when we aren't in the 'heat of the moment'.
It would be wonderful if the eternal perspective could always be present like oxygen rather than reflected upon only at certain times.
Reminds me of the present perfect progressive vs. the present perfect, in a remote sort of way (always thinking eternally vs only thinking eternally at certain times).
(Yeah, so after school a student came into the office and I tried to help her understand the present perfect progressive vs. the present perfect tense. [example of ppp: have been watching; example of pp: have watched]).

Ha! Good point, teacher!
Perhaps as we get more in tune to thinking eternally in much of the "off" times, the "habit" will kick in during the heat of the moment times. It's difficult, with life activity etc. pressing in on us.
