Today is Thursday, August 22nd, 2019; Karen's Korner #4099
Today's Karen's Korner is several final thoughts by Max Lucado on his last page of "Anxious for Nothing". He speaks the truth that, if we have troubling thoughts, they are usually regrets in the past or fears of the future.
Today? We can handle and enjoy each day. With God's help.
From Lucado:
"Today I will live today.
Yesterday has passed.
Tomorrow is not yet.
I'm left with today.
So, today, I will live today.
Relive yesterday? No.
I will learn from it.
I will seek mercy for it.
I will take joy in it.
But I won't live in it.
The sun has set on yesterday.
The sun has yet to rise on tomorrow.
Worry about the future? To what gain?
It deserves a glance, nothing more.
I can't change tomorrow until tomorrow.
Today, I will live today.
I will face today's challenges with today's strength.
I will dance today's waltz with today's music.
I will celebrate today's opportunities with today's hope.
Today."
"May I laugh, listen, learn, and love. And tomorrow, if it comes, may I do it again.
"A new day awaits you, my friend. A new season in which you will worry less and trust more. A season with reduced fear and enhanced faith. Can you imagine a life in which you are anxious for nothing! God can. And, with His help, you will experience it."
