Thanks for what we don’t even know awaits us - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24

As a child when I visited my uncle and aunt on their farm, I found that they arose while it was still very dark. At breakfast, before going out into the fields, my uncle always prayed, thanking the Lord for the beautiful day. Of course it was much too dark for us to see the kind of day that was dawning.
One morning I said to my uncle, "Yesterday you thanked the Lord for a beautiful day, and it rained all day."
"Yep," he said, "and what a beautiful rain it was!"
Now I realize that my uncle’s prayer was the kind that the Lord cherishes most—thanks for what we don’t even know awaits us.

Once read, "Give thanks, it is already on it's way." What a glorious thought!

I can't base today and tomorrow by yesterday's thoughts and actions, this is a new day. If we have strings attached to our past, we need to cut the cord that keep us going back there.

The Promises say, "We will no longer regret the past or wish to shut the door on it." If we work the program, it can no longer hurt us, we can heal and not give it power in today. What was was, this is a new day that my God has given me.
