Today is Monday, June 29th, 2009; Karen's Korner #1601

We received a note from a Fertile/Forest City school classmate, Elsie Felland, one day last week.
 
It seems the Forest City Summit has a column titled "Summit Yesteryears" and this particular issue stated that 45 years ago on June 25, 1964 "Mr and Mrs Stanley Zirbel lost 16 out of a pen of 19 geese to foxes Saturday.  A den of foxes were found on the Zirbel farm."
 
That would have be my mom and dad and it would have been our farm. Elsie inquired if I remembered the incident.
 
No, couldn't recall it.
 
It made me think about life then and life now.
 
Probably at the time, it was a 'family tragedy', causing our family trauma, distraction, concern, worry.
 
Today I can't even remember it!
 
I wonder what it might be today that is capturing your/my attention, which we won't even remember in the short or distant future.
 
Maybe it is one of the reasons that God tells us 'not to worry about anything', wanting us to trust Him with our today and our tomorrow. All of our tomorrows.
 
Chances are pretty good we couldn't handle lots of things in the past. Things on our plate today. What might be slid onto our table tomorrow.
 
But He knows. He cares. He can....
 
"This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it."
~ Psalms 118:24

Praise be to God!
