How many times have you read that verse, and nodded your head in agreement? Many times probably… Yet, this verse is not just about enjoying a nice day that the Lord created.
A beautiful reminder and just in time for what I believe was my busy schedule. I have a change of plans and will be playing outside with my grandchildren today
Tomorrow. The most useless word in the dictionary. When I woke from 6 weeks on a ventilator, the nurse asked me what day it was. I knew Id checked in December 1. Unable to move my hands, feet, or lift my head, I knew something must have gone wrong. So I guessed. December 20. Seemed logical since Christmas hadn’t come yet. Wrong. To this day I can hear her say, “Oh no honey. Today is January 16, 2022”. I was horrified, “I missed Christmas?” I thought she would cry as she responded, “Im so sorry…”
Yeah, that was a moment but the point is, even after 6 weeks, it wasn’t tomorrow. It was today. After 61 years as far as I know it has always been today. Even better, its right now. That’s it. Tomorrow never has and never will come. Who knows what tomorrow brings? Who cares. It’s never going to get here. It doesnt exist in this life.
Plan for the future, get up in the morning and start a brand new day, but live right now. Its what you have. Its all you have and in moment, every single passing one, it’s gone.
I couldve died but I didnt. 6 weeks worth of moments gone but from that one, I learned and have grown quite fond of the most valuble trait I have. Appreciation. For right now, today, and whatever I am doing.
Wow, that must have been the strangest feeling. I’ve never really thought about that scenario too deeply. 6 wks gone! Praise God you recovered!
And you are so right! Great explanation. But now it makes sense when my son puts something off and says he’ll do it tomorrow! Just kidding…he generally gets things done.
