I recall a time in my life when someone wanted to "read my future". I was totally opposed and refused the offer. It amazes me at the number of people that are drawn in by these devices. Only GOD knows our futures.
On the other hand, I have plans for everything. I have to admit that it is, at times, quite overwhelming. Trying to figure out retirement and college for the kids and paying for cars and new roofs and HVAC units and etc., etc., etc. There is so much that could happen and is going to happen in the future that we seem to stay in a constant stat of fretfulness.
Today's word is a quote attributed to many. It says, "The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time."
Can you remember your first day of school? How long ago was that? Hasn't the time flown? On that first day of school, all we concentrated on was that moment, learning where the bathroom was, where the lunchroom was, our teacher's name, trying to figure out who was going to be our friend(s). We were in the moment; we lived that day.
Now, it seems that we can't live today because we are so caught up and concerned with tomorrow or next month or next year or twenty years from now. Yes, there are things we need to plan for. Yes, there are things we need to do and get done. But, we cannot live the next twenty years today. The future will come one day at a time. Don't miss a single one by losing yourself in tomorrow.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
