“We don’t have to know everything at once. We just do one thing at a time, as it is given us to do.” ― Madeleine L'Engle, A Wind in the Door
I like this one. It reminds me that I need to stay in the present moment, with whatever I am doing in that moment. I do not need to worry about the future or think about the past. Just stay in the present. It reminds me that all I have to do is my best in that moment, leave the rest to God. It reminds me that I can have faith in the future when I have faith in the present. And it reminds me also that when I am present with the moment, my work and life and actions will be better because I will really be there. All I have to do is one thing at a time, that is all I can do, really, and the rest will take care of itself.
There--I tried some spontaneous writing on a subject and am pleased with the results. I stayed in the present moment and just wrote quickly like we are advised to do in our lessons. It works!!
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR INDIRA! I wish you a day of peace and calm under the sun wherever you are right now. Thank you for being who you are. Love, Kevin P.S. and here are many birthday candles to light your way...
Thanks, Kevin, for all your good wishes. I myself am not good at remembering birthdays, so I always admire those who are! That's why I wish everyone a happy birthday at the beginning of each month in my messages. Yes, staying in the present moment--so simple yet so hard to do! We need all the reminders we can get! I also like the quote from one of my favorite authors. Thanks for finding it.
