Jesus is alive today...how about you?Today's Scripture:
God's word is alive and working and is sharper than a double-edged sword. It cuts all the way into us, where the soul and the spirit are joined, to the center of our joints and bones. And it judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts.
Hebrews 4:12
Selah people' and friends any person can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you add the burdens of those two awful eternities-yesterday and tomorrow-that we can break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people mad; it is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Therefore, by the grace of God, live one day at a time.
"Let us choose today as Christ to LIVE...live today to it's fullest and be in the moment. You and those around you will be so happy when you do."

Hebrews 4:12
I have spent the day with family working with my son on a growing list of home repairs and things that pile up on a person when the work every Saturday and don't have that day to catch up. How do you spend your days? My Dad shared with me this thought from the National Chaplain Dr. Charles Edwards Jr. Take time today to prepare for tomorrow.
Remember there are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of those days is yesterday with its mistakes and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. We cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone.
The other word that we should not worry about is tomorrow with its possible adversities, its burden, its large promise, and poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds-but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn. This leaves only one day-today.Remember there are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
