How Will You Make It?

I decided to try a new nail salon in the area for some pampering services. As I sat relaxing, the nail tech began a conversation when he noticed my wedding ring set.
Tech (Mr.Thomas)- How long have you been married?
Me- Just 13 months now.
Tech- Oh you are still honeymooning.
Me- Yep!! We sure are!
Tech- You know they say you have to make it 7 years before you can say you have made it.
Me- I can't focus on 7 years. I just have to make it through today.

He began to ponder what I said and responded- If only more people thought that way.

The reality is that we are not promised 7 more years. I thought about this when I read a post from a friend that is two weeks into the journey of being smoke free. How awesome!!!
James 4:14
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

The only way to make it is One Day At A Time. Every day you are given, focus on your goal for that day. I want a happy marriage TODAY. I want to remain clean TODAY. I want to be sober TODAY. Before you know it, many TODAYS will add up to many weeks, months and many years.
In the words of an old familiar song....

 One day at a time, sweet Jesus. That's all I'm asking of you. Give me the strength to do everything, that I have to do. Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine. Lord for my sake, help me to take....One Day At A Time.
Love Y'all to life!!!
