Grandmommy Says

3.  Remember, Grandmommy who is 91 and still going strong says, "Take it one day at the time."  Internalize that and realize it is not just about days.  Losing weight? One pound at a time. Paying down debt? One dollar at the time. Struggling to handle work, marriage, nursing a baby, parenting 2 older children, and keeping a house? One task at the time.  When you look at the franticness of life--it is enough to make anyone feel anxious, defeated, and overwhelmed.  Focus on what you can do--and what you are doing that moment and leave the big picture to God.  And remember the Scripture:

30And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God* above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. 34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.


Matthew 6:30-34
