Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

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

One 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. Nor can we erase a single word we’ve
said. Yesterday is gone!!

The other day we shouldn’t worry about is TOMORROW with its impossible adversaries, its burden, its hopeful promise and poor performance.

Tomorrow is beyond our control. Tomorrow’s sun will rise either in splendor or behind a bank of clouds - but it will rise. And until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.

This leaves only one day - TODAY. A person can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people mad - it is the remorse for something that happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Let us therefore, LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME.

You Never Walk Alone
How often you fear the road up ahead,
How often you dread the unknown,
How often, too, do you tend to forget
That you never walk alone.

For there’s One who well knows where you’re going,
He’s sure every step of the way,
For long, long ago He walked the same path
That you and I travel today.

And He understands every misgiving,
For fear is a part of us all,
But in faith make each step firm and steady,
And the Father will not let you fall.

Just remember He’s walking beside you,
With love that will never fail,
His arm around your shoulders,
His eye upon the trail.

Their lives will never be the same.”
