Today


Today is mine. 

 Tomorrow is none of my business.

If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future,
I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not clearly see what is required of me now.

 Elisabeth Elliot, Keep a Quiet Heart, p. 53

    A simple truth...in that case, I should wrap some birthday gifts...party at 2.

    Seems as if The Lord has a theme going this morning...

    I love the wisdom of EElliot. One of the highlights of my LIFE was getting to hear her speak in person and meeting her afterwards.
