I know I'm not the only one with a "to-do list" that feels like it's a mile long. We live in a world where we are constantly running: mow lawn, clean the house, pay the bills, go to work, finish projects, drop kids off at soccer, run to Wal-Mart, pick kids up at soccer, make dinner, "quality time" with kids, put kids to bed, "quality time" with spouse, sleep... Sound familiar?
I would submit to you that the bible says we can't plan for tomorrow B/C we’re not guaranteed tomorrow. Today is the only time that we have…that is why today matters. And most of the time we miss it B/C of a few reasons.
1st thing: We over-exaggerate yesterday…our past successes or failures often look bigger to us, in hindsight, then they actually were.
2nd thing: We over-estimate tomorrow...most of us are optimistic and we believe that our future days are going to be better than today.
3rd thing: We under-estimate today...we often fail to recognize today's value and potential.
Today matters...don't let that "to-do list" overwhelm you...know that today is the only day that you have within your grasp.
Hope to see you Sunday.
