There are two days in the week, I have finally learned to never worry about — two carefree days kept sacredly free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday. Yesterday, with its cares and fret and pains and aches, all its faults, its mistakes and blunders, has passed forever beyond my recall. It was mine; it is God’s now.
The other day that I do not worry about is Tomorrow. Tomorrow, with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its perils, its large promise and performance, its failures and mistakes, is as far beyond my mastery as its dead sister, Yesterday. Tomorrow is God’s day; it will be mine if God wills it. As we are not promised tomorrow.
There is left, then, for myself but one day in the week – Today. We can fight the battles of today. We can carry the burdens of just one day; we can resist the temptation of today. It is only when we willfully add the burden of these two awful eternities – Yesterday and Tomorrow – such burdens as only the Mighty God can sustain – that we break down.
It isn’t the experience of Today that drives us mad. It is the remorse of what happened Yesterday and the fear of what Tomorrow might bring. These are God’s Days … Leave those two days to Him.
My Tewahedo Orthodox Sister, focus on Today, live in the present and make every second count.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
(Matthew 6:34 NKJV)
I just came across your website, and I am absolutely overjoyed with everything I have read so far. We need more people like you who are spreading the beauty of the Orthodox Tewahedo Church. You are truly embodying Christ’s calling for us to be the salt of the earth, so I thank you for your wonderful work and encourage you to keep going. May the Virgin Mary and her Son bless you and your family!
