In his PEANUTS Cartoon strip, Charles Schultz once gave us a humorous human look at the difficulty of life as his characters, Lucy and Charlie Brown, were having a discussion. Here's the exchange:
Linus Van Pelt:
Life is difficult, isn't it, Charlie Brown?
Charlie Brown: Yes, it is.
But I've developed a new philosophy. I only dread one day at a time.
This scene reminds me of the words of Jesus spoken in Matthew's record of The Good News:
So don’t ever worry about tomorrow. After all, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
-- Matthew 6:34 (GWT)
Lord, help us to be present in the present. Please, also, inspire us to delight in each day more than to dread each day. Help us to rejoice in each day you gift us with. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Psalm 37 may also add some extra perspective to your day if you need it?
Deo Volente -- Whatever God Wants!
Grateful
