Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story No matter how good yesterday was, today can be that much better. So when I let go of yesterday, I have an opportunity now to enjoy today in its fullness. Every once in a while, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage will say with a smile, “Remember when...?” then she goes into a long tirade of something that happened years ago. But, of course, I enjoy the reflection, and sometimes it encourages me for today. According to her, there's nothing wrong with reflecting on past experiences as long as you're not going back to that situation. So I'm still trying to learn that side of it. Usually, we reflect on past anniversaries on our wedding anniversary and enjoy that reflection. She remembers things yesterday that I don't remember at all. The purpose of memories is to enhance today, make it better, and give me the energy to move forward. I have learned to turn my yesterday into a blessing that enables me to enjoy today and tomorrow at its best. One of my favorite Bible verses says, “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24). When I kiss yesterday goodbye I can focus on the day, today, that God has made to be a blessing in my life. Tweet
