One.day.at.a.time......
So, I have this little nondescript blog that no one reads. I have it to basically process my thoughts...when I feel "moved" to do so. At times it functions to whet my spirit when it is dry.
This morning I am numb, depressed even, over what the next few weeks, months, or years will bring. I am not in a comfortable spot. I don't like change, yet change is a primary component of life. Only God knows how much time my mother has left in her earthly body, one that I have classified as "bionic" because of shoulder and hip replacements. I worry about my father--my rock, my hero--and I worry about how I will handle it when they are both gone. See, they have put me in charge of their estate. I have only halfway listened when Dad went over directions/procedures with me....contacting the Air Force base in Charleston, social security, on and on and on. The smart man wrote everything down, too, because he knows .....he just knows......
Yesterday when the enormity of it all was pressing down on my shoulders, a friend reminded me to take it one.day.at.a.time. This blog is old; birthed from my cancer experience, if I remember correctly. On sun shiny days I have no problem remembering this. Well, I am entering the not-so-sun-shiny days of my life. This is what brings us back to our faith.
One.day.at.a.time "I can do *all* things through Christ, who strengthens me."
It does no good to wallow in worrying about tomorrow;"Today brings enough trouble of its own."
Yet, we are, after all, only "human." This is something I have to make a concerted effort to do. One day, one step, one breath at a time....
