Quote for Today

March 27 Reflection for the Day from A Day At A Time "Storing up grievances is not only a waste of time, but a waste of life that could be lived to greater satisfaction. If I keep a ledger of "oppressions and indignities," I'm only restoring them to painful reality. "The horror of that moment," the King said, " I shall never, never forget." "You will though," said the Queen,"if you don't make a memorandum of it." (Lewis Carroll ~ Through The Looking Glass) AM I KEEPING A SECRET STOREHOUSE FOR THE WRECKAGE OF MY PAST? Today I Pray God Keep me from harboring the sludge from the past - grievances, annoyances, grudges, oppressions, wrongs, injustices, put-downs, slights, hurts. They will nag at me and consume my time in rehashing what I "might have said" or done until I face each one, name the emotion it produced in me, settle it as best I can - and forget it. May I empty my storehouse of old grievances. Today I will Remember Don't rattle old bones. Morning peeps

Rhonda, I just totally dig these posts!! Ya know I think this could really be applied to guilt also. I personally let guilt of poor decisions, past mistakes and such, just drive me nuts! There are times that I think "how the heck could anyone love someone like me?" When I realize how much I love my son and would forgive him for anything, I realize how much God loves me and the fact he gave the ultimate for me and it just overwhelms me. Thinking along these lines is what helps me release my past and embrace my future. I go on with the knowledge that "my nature" is good and I cannot second guess my past because I always forget the cir****tances of what appear to be bad decisions. I have learned to "trust in my best of intentions" and just let go and quit expecting myself to be perfect. So with thought I stumble on knowing there is someone up there ready to forgive me because he is my Father. Wow! See what these post do to me! Get me thinking way too much! Love ya Rhonda Baby! I loved your cartoon by the way! Got me all hot and bothered! She actually wiggled a lot like Deb! She's gonna hurt me! Sparky
