YESTERDAY... TODAY, TOMORROW

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry.
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is YESTERDAY with its mistakes and cares,
Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains.
YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back YESTERDAY.
We cannot undo a single act we performed.
We cannot erase a single word we said. YESTERDAY is gone.

The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW.
With its possible adversities, Its burdens,
Its large promise and poor performance.
TOMORROW is also beyond our immediate control.
TOMORROW's Sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds,
but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in TOMORROW, for it is yet unborn.
This just leaves only one day . . . TODAY.
Any person can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's -
yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of TODAY that drives people mad.
It is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened YESTERDAY
and the dread of what TOMORROW may bring.

Let us therefore live but one day at a time.

Beautiful and true - thanks for taking the time to type it out and bring a much needed reminder!

"Therefore DO NOT WORRY about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself; sufficient for the day is its own problems." (Matt 6:34)

I remember realising last year - and even saying to God - that if I relegate to tomorrow all that belongs to tomorrow, it doesn't leave me with a great deal to worry about (and in fact, what's left is very manageable). As I spoke that thought to God, I sensed Him say, "That's the point!"

Love you heaps beautiful sister!

Where do we begin? I had the aspiration to start a website but seeing as it would take more work and I wouldn't put it up 'til I had perfection which might take who knows when- we'll settle for this, for now.

Here's where I want to share like I use to -posting up some of the things God's been impressing on me that maybe He too might use these stories to also help you along the path He has for you. At the same time, I want to also share from other areas of my life that sorta make up me. So you will see a many different things i.e. posted pics, thoughts, the crazy things Rox finds being the resourceful internet surfer she is to her recent readings or interests to whatever else. See and enjoy.
