Do Not Worry About Tomorrow

This is such a good verse to remind ourselves of. Today we only have to deal with today. We can deal with tomorrow tomorrow. God gives us grace one day at a time.
 When we are in the middle of something that is difficult, we can look ahead and get so overwhelmed or depressed. We are afraid it will never end.
Sometimes we need to plan ahead and it can help to be organized, but worrying ahead never helps. It only makes today harder.
There are many times I've worried about tomorrow, and what I worried about, never even happened. And when my worries did come true, God gave me grace and help to get through at the time. God gives us help one day at a time.

      What the Angels Said — Carol McLeod Ministries

      Angels are an intrinsic and dynamic part of the Christmas story. Christmas simply would not have occurred without these God-sent messengers from heaven. We don’t know if the angels were clothed in flowing, white robes, if they had a halo that sparkled, or even if they flew with wings into the Christ

      The Mall or the Manger?

      Much has changed since the God of the universe decorated the night sky with the star of Bethlehem and directed the choir of angels in a chorus announcing the birth of Our Savior, Jesus Christ. But the commercialism doesn’t have to rule in our hearts and homes. This year let’s focus on the Christ Child and remember the true meaning of the holiday season. As we turn our eyes to the Babe in the manger, we will not view Christmas as a dreaded obligation or a major retail event. It will be a time of joyous celebration, honoring the One Who came to give us eternal life and worshipping our Heavenly Father.
