Today is enough

So, I am meeting with a financial planner today; it'll probably be a short meeting. There is a lot to discuss but there isn't a lot of ways to get from where we are to where I would like to be, especially considering how little time I have left in my plans to work.

But, it is very important to plan for the future. We have two little ones that I hope will one day pursue a college degree. I certainly want to help, financially, in that pursuit, and so we are meeting with the financial planner to see what we can do to help make all these things happen. I have to be careful, though, that I don't allow my focus on the future to miss something very important  - TODAY.

Today's word is Matthew 6:34, NLT, which reads, "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today."

We can allow ourselves to get so focused on future things, even good things like retirement and kids' college, that it can become overwhelming. We certainly can't scrimp and save every penny we can for the future while our house is falling in around us. Without a place to live, what kind of future will we have? Paying for our kids' future college expenses isn't nearly as important as investing our time in their lives today.

It is imperative that we be good stewards of all that GOD has given us, including our finances. We should give back to GOD, try to keep things up, have a little fun, and save all we can for the future. We should certainly be concerned and do our best to plan, but, we can't allow our worries about the future to cause us to miss something today. Today is enough!

Be Blessed,
