Quote of the Day

"Today is a slender bridge which will bear its own load, but it will collapse if we add tomorrow's. In every year there are 365 letters from the King, each with its own message- 'Bear this for Me'. What shall we do with the letters? Open them a day at a time. Yesterday's seal is broken; lay that letter reverently away; yesterday's cross is laid down, never to be borne again. Tomorrow's letter lies on the table; do not break the seal. For when tomorrow becomes today, there will stand beside us an unseen Figure; and His hand will be on our brow, and His gaze will be in our eyes, as He says with a loving smile, 'As thy days, so shall thy strength be'. The golden summary of our life is to be this: as to the past, a record of gratitude; as to the present, a record of service; and as to the future, a record of trust."
( By D.M. Panton; in Streams in the Desert V.II - Mrs. Charles E. Cowman)

    Oh thank you Nay for sharing this quote. I've always loved it and have written it several times in my journals. But reading it again for the umpteenth time, I am blessed, and it still holds true for this time in my life. Thanks for taking the time to share. Blogging is a lovely outlet, but oftentimes it is a little sacrifice of our time and effort. Thanks.

      Yes, it was such a blessing to me too. It is everyday opening the letter of His will, and knowing that with it also comes a bountiful supply of His grace. Thanks Toni.
