Matthew 6:33-34
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself.
----------------------------------------------------------------
We start with a piggy bank to save for tomorrow. Then we start opening savings account. And as we earn more, we would open a time deposit or a trust account. And of course, who would forget the insurance and the educational plans. All of these to prepare for what tomorrow may bring.
And there is nothing wrong with this. Being prepared is a principle worth emulating simply because no one really knows what will happen then.
Still, we are being reminded not to overdo it. We are being reminded by today’s gospel that too much worrying about what will happen tomorrow is not a healthy attitude. We can prepare for the future, but stop thinking much about it that we forget our present.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day that you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear. Take time to say “I'm sorry”, “Please forgive me”, “Thank you” or “It's okay”.
Do it today… not tomorrow.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, Take us in Your arms and cradle us with love. You are a great provider and always will be. You have our trust, for trust is faith. And we firmly believe that You will never let us down. Amen +
Rest in God alone, my soul.
