Take it 24hrs at a Time......Dear Dad Day 49

Dear Dad,

The more and more I live, the more and more stuff and things I have to do. We live in a planned society: meetings, work, meetings at work, family, events, birthdays, weddings, planning, planning, planning and shall I say it again PLANNING. I can relate because I am truly a planner, but as I grow as a person I realize the importance of taking life 24hrs at a time. *Seize the moment* As some may say, because tomorrow is not promised. Most importantly all of the worries that are associated with the days ahead does not add any value to my life. Being concerned with all the what-ifs of this world can drive a person crazy, and I know that’s not Your intention for our lives. Help me to take in and absorb the beauty of each day. Help me to see Your handiwork; whether it’s acknowledging the sunshine, or recognizing the importance of rainfall. Regardless, this is a new day that You have given me to start over, right some wrongs, help somebody, grow intentionally, and most importantly understand & get closer to You. I recognize the opportunity You afford me daily to grow in You and I embrace that. There is absolutely no need to rush through life, wonder & worry about tomorrow, or get so caught up about the future that I forget about today. You made each day, and I not only thank You for it, but I fully embrace everything each day brings.

August 17, 2012, a day like no other. Thank You!

Word On The Go: Matthew 6:34;  Proverbs 27:1; 1 Peter 1: 3-5

Matthew

³⁴ “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

Proverbs

1Don’t brag about tomorrow,
    since you don’t know what the day will bring.

1 Peter

^3-5What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you'll have it all—life healed and whole.

P.S~ I love this about You: I can call out to You for help and You help—You are such a good Father that way. But I won’t forget, You’re also a responsible Father, and won't let me get by with sloppy living. (1Peter 1:17)
