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 from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is Yesterday with all 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 forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
with all its possible adversities, its burdens,
It's large promise and its 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 to be born.

This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those
two awful eternities Yesterday and Tomorrow
that we break down.

It is not the experience of Today that drives
a person mad, it is the remorse or bitterness
of something which happened Yesterday
and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.

Let us, therefore,
Live but one day at a time.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow:
for the morrow shall take thought
for the things of itself. Sufficient
unto the day is the evil therefof.
Matthew 6:34
