From Our Pastor
There are two days we should not worry about. One is yesterday, with its mistakes and blunders, aches and pains. Yesterday is gone. The other day we shouldn’t worry about is tomorrow, with its burden, its hopeful promise, and poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our control. Until tomorrow‘s sun rises, we have no stake in it. It is yet unborn.
That leaves only one day – today. Any 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.
So…Lord, help me live one day at a time!
