The Gift of Today

I am wiser by the day. Because each day comes with its distinctive trials and triumphs. Each day offers a full session of learning, so much that there is no room for electives. No room for carrying over of yesterday's courses. No room for covering tomorrow's courses today. Today is all I have, and its all I will work with. So, "tomorrow" should wait for its turn when it becomes "today" to get my attention. ‎And "yesterday" should know it has lost its chance to "today". "Yesterday" is no longer a pain, and "tomorrow" is no more a dread. I thank God for the beautiful gift called, "today".

I see no reason why humans should be so bothered about "tomorrow" that they lose the opportunities locked up in the bowels of "today". To be sure, "today" is the "tomorrow" you worried about "yesterday". And if care is not taken, it will soon become the "yesterday" you remember with regrets.

The best advise I have had concerning "today" in relation to "tomorrow"  is found in Matthew 6:34:

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (NIV)


Just wondering how better life would be for all of us if we heeded this advise!

  5. Great perspective on the passage of time. Today is so important it's why it's called the "Precious Present" that is all any of us are ever given! Thank God for today.

  7. Each day is an empty page of on its own. To leave today and be troubled for tomorrow is like jumping pages. It would be a waste.
