Fun Time Is Over

Tomorrow, it's back to work and back to school. It's happy and sad at the same time, but it's a reality. The Holiday Season is finally through. Keep your chin up and focus on one day at a time (it's what I'm planning on doing).

Earl Nightingale once said "A lifetime is composed of days, strung together into weeks, months, and years. A successful life is nothing more than a lot of successful days put together. As such, every day counts.

Just as a stone mason can put only one stone in place at a time, you can live only one day at a time. And it's the way in which these stones are placed that will determine the beauty, the strength of the tower. If each stone is successfully placed — with care and quality — the tower will be a success. If, on the other hand, they're put down in a hit-or-miss fashion — irrespective of quality — the whole tower is in danger. Seems simple. Yet, how many people do you know who live like this — focused on "just getting through" each day instead of on the "success" of each day."

It doesn't sound like magic, does it? It's a matter of finding your focus, doing your best and living one day at a time- today. I plan to keep my sights on the Lord, and do my very best each day.

Matthew 6:33-34 (New International Version)

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Good Night
