A few years ago my best friend at Church was getting ready to go half way around the world with her family. I was really sad about her leaving. I didn’t like that God was sending her and her family away from me. He was taking my best friend away from me. Our friendship started out in a strange way, but then again I think that was God’s doing as well. The day before she left, she came over to my house. We said our last goodbyes over coffee. Before she left we hugged and cried. After she left I wasn’t sure what to do. That’s when I decided to take it one day at a time. It was the only way I knew how to get through the pain of my best friend leaving.
Since then she has been back twice to have two babies. Both times I reminded myself to just enjoy the time I have with my dear friend and take it one day at a time.
When my mom was sick and dying in the Hospital I was having a hard time with it. I didn’t want to loose my mom. I loved my mom and still do. I realized then that I needed to do the same thing. I had to take it one day at a time. It was the only way I was going to get through my mom being sick and eventually passing away. Then there was the anxiousness about her funeral. Again I had to take it one day at a time.
I finally came to the conclusion that no matter what I do or where I am I just need to take it one day at a time. That’s really all I can do. As a matter of fact that’s all any one can do. Take it one day at a time.
Matthew 6:34a
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
