Live a Day at a Time
Robert J. Burdette

There are two days in the week upon which and about which I never worry-two carefree days kept sacredly free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is yesterday. Yesterday, with its cares and frets and all its pains and aches, all its faults, its mistakes and blunders, has passed forever beyond my recall.

It was mine. It is God’s.

And the other day that I do not worry about is tomorrow. Tomorrow, with all its possible adversities, it burdens, its perils, its large promise and poor performance, its failures and mistakes, is as far beyond my mastery as its dead sister, yesterday.

Tomorrow is God’s day. It will be mine.

There is left for myself, then, but one day in the week-today. Any woman can carry the burdens of just one day. Any man can resist the temptations of today.

It is only when we add the burdens of those two awful eternities, yesterday, and tomorrow, that we break down.
