"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living.
We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon,
instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today."
~~ Quote by Dale Carnegie
What happens if today, with all of its trials and unsettling facts, is the best day of the rest of our lives? What happens if a doctor tomorrow or next week or next month tells you/me or a loved one, "I am sorry there is nothing that can be done."?
Maybe today with all of its ills and cares is a good day to celebrate, walk with our heads high.......because we are loved and taken care of by our Creator! Not just today but through this life and on to the one that is coming!
And now, LORD,
bless me and keep me;
make Your face to shine upon me and be gracious unto me,
and grant to me Your peace in my going out and my coming in,
in my laying down and in my rising up,
in my labor and in my leisure, in my laughter and in my tears,
until I stand before Jesus in that day in which there is no sunset, and no dawning.
In Jesus' name. Amen
(Numbers 6:24-26) *
