One day at a Time

Greetings to you my dear mothers, sisters and all of you, reading this post! 


Today let's meditate on how to live one day at a time without worrying about tomorrow. This is something that is very important, as throughout our life the question that each one of us need to answer is, how do we use our time? 


The Bible speaks more about it, but do not overlook this one fact, "Beloved that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day - 2 Peter 3:8" My human mind can't understand this, but I can understand the verse in Ephesians 5:16 it says, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. So let's live one day at a time. The Bible also says His mercy is new everyday.


I read an article in the newspaper, it said, Time is a very precious commodity. It is supplied to us on a daily basis to utilise it to the fullest.This supply is constant throughout our life. From the day we are born till the day we die. We will never receive a second more or less on any given day, irrespective of whether we are old or young, rich or poor, sick or healthy, male or female, most important believers or atheists, genius or layman. This allocation of time is equal to everyone in the universe. 


How well do we utilise it and make the most of it to glorify God in our life is very essential. 


                       Time = Life


waste your time and waste your life, Instead, master your time and master your life, says Alan Lakein. When we wake up in the morning, we are magically given twenty four hours, which is ours for that day. This precious hour no one can steal, or take away from us and no one receives more or less. Time is such a commodity that even if we waste it, the supply will never be withheld from us the next day. We cannot waste tomorrow because it is kept for us, for the next day, Most importantly, we cannot draw time from the future or get into debt, but how we spend our time that twenty four hours is what we are accountable to God as God's children.


The Bible says do not worry about tomorrow. Mathew 6:24  says "Tomorrow has its own worries" We have to live only for today. Let us therefore choose wisely how we will spend these twenty hours that is (Today) 


 Let's determine to spend it in a profitable way like, praying for our children, Spiritual activities for our soul, meditating on God's word, seeking for ways to bless & encourage or lift up someone who comes across our path, speak only words that build up and not tear down other people, then true contentment & Joy in Christ will be ours. Our Father who sees in secret will one day reward us openly with every blessing He has promised in His word. 


 My favourite song written by Kris kristofferson prays  


One day at a time dear Jesus,

That's all I'm asking from you,

Just give me the strength to do everyday 

what I have to do, 

Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus,

and tomorrow  may never be mine, 

Lord help me today,

show me the way one day at a time.


I'm only human, I'm just woman (mother)

Help me believe, in what I could be 

And all that I am, 

Show me the stairway that I have to climb 

Lord for my sake 

Teach me to take 

One day at a time.


So my dear mothers, let's not worry about 

tomorrow .Our father knows how much we can handle,That's why he has given us just today.


He says just be faithful today, be wholehearted today, love me today and also a very important verse in the Bible, The most precious verse, Today is the  day of salvation. so that we will have rest for our soul, and we are assured of His love forever.


Let's pray like this, Lord you are Almighty and I will rest nowhere but in your presence where there is fullness of joy and  that will be infinitely ,immeasurably, unspeakably, beyond my understanding. 


God bless you all.


My sincere prayers continues.

My Journey - A personal Story

Greetings to you all in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ dear mother, friends and anyone reading today. I pray and hope you all are happy and healthy by God’s grace. I had a recent heath challenge that I went through   over the last 10 months, I thought I will share with you all and trust it will encourage you. By God’s grace I am back to being able to do all my routine tasks, like taking care of my home, family, cooking, gardening etc., I felt it will be something good to share in order to bring awareness to many women. I read a beautiful quote “Enjoy the little things in life for one day you may look back and realize they were big things” They may be small pleasures but are truly precious. As mothers we overlook this simple joy and worry about what is to come. Life is filled with uncertainties. Enjoy the little things, for they will surely lighten the heart.” I’ve never expected that I’ll get cancer at any part of my life. Never had a family history. I’ve never had a f...

My Son and Me

My beloved son Vijay Peter Dhanraj went home to be with the Lord Jesus on 18th Sept, 2018. Its been 2 years..... So today with a heavy heart I am writing about my son Vijay and me. Indeed it was a real joy to have a son like Vijay. As he was growing up, it was like having Jesus in our home. Never once I remember him saying no to anything we asked him to do. He was a very obedient son. Early in his life he took on the responsibilities of the family.  I remember one time when he was about 4 years old, I had to stay awake taking care of one of my other sons who was a baby, at that time,Vijay was sitting up coughing, I got up to bring water,Vijay told me, mummy you sit with the baby I'll go get it myself.  He is very thoughtful of other’s need. He was hardworking, sincere, faithful & honest. He was a such a blessing wherever God took him. He never asked anything for himself even things like food, clothes, toys etc., he never got what he liked, when he was growing up, he gave ...

Always Pray and Never lose heart

  Greetings to all my dear Mothers and Sisters and all who are reading this today! Hope you all are doing well by God’s grace and mercy, may we remind ourselves that it is indeed God's mercy that we are most privileged people to have life and good health. Let’s not take it for granted dear mothers. I consider each day as a gift from God for me.   I was thinking of the importance of praying through hard times and finding strength in God’s presence. This book was gifted to me by one of my best friend; I felt that it came at the right time, as I read I was blessed and it was very helpful in my present situation hence I thought it will bless you all, so I am sharing a few thoughts on that. “Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the people as much as adversity has.” says Billy Graham. Yes, we lean on God more when we go through adversity than in good times. He allows certain sufferings to certain  people whom he loves, because he wants them to trust Him and com...
