One Day at a Time

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry - two days which should be kept free of fear and apprehension. One of these days is yesterday, with all of it's mistakes and care, it's aches and pains, it's faults and blunders. Yesterday has passed forever beyoud our control. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. The other day we shouldn't worry about is tomorrow, with it's possible adversities, it's burdens, it's large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control Tomorrow's sun will rise either in splendour or behind a mask of clouds; still it will rise! Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is as yet unborn. That leaves only one day - today. Anyone can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those other two eternities, yesterday and tomorrow, that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people mad, it is remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and/or the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Therefore let us journey, but only one day at a time.

  Grace & peace.
