“Tomiorrow! Tomorrow1”, that was Annie’s song. She sang, “It’s always a day away.” Yesterday tomorrow was today. But that was yesterday and it’s over and today is today. Right this minute.
I sometimes pray at night that I might be able to do God’s will on the next day. But, I wake up;and find that I have to ask for that today. I cannot stay sober for tomorrow. Only today. Just as often I think of the drunks in that old NYC bar, who would read the sign, “Free drinks tomorrow”. How dissapointed they must have been to find tomorrow never came.
If I relive yesterday or try to live in tomorrow, I can drive myself insane. But, I have tried to do that and did drive myself crazy. When I would do this, I would miss today.
Why bring this up? Just to remind myself of the importance of right now. I can only be fully alive right now. I can only stay sober right now. I can only maintain my spiritual condition right now. I can only do God’s will for me right now. I can only practice these principles in all my affairs right now. Will I? Today is not over yet.
I was just thinking of the importance of today and this very moment. And how well this moment is.
