some e elliott wisdom

"in fact, i do believe these great things we say and sing together, then these little things (and what is not little by comparison?) will be taken care of....wherever you are, be all there. live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God. it is within the sphere of the circumstances He chooses for us- single, married, widowed-that we receive Him. it is there and nowhere else that He makes Himself known to us. it is there we are allowed to serve Him. single life may be only a stage of a life's journey, but even a stage is a gift. God may replace it with another gift, but the receiver accepts His gifts with thanksgiving. This gift for this day. the life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived- not always looked forward to as though the "real" living were around the next corner. it is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow"
