August 11 - When I dwell on piddling things that annoy me - and they
sprout resentments that grow bigger and bigger like weeds - I forget how
I could be stretching my world and broadening my outlook. For me,
that's an ideal way to shrink troubles down to their real size. When
somebody or something is causing me trouble, I should try to see the
incident in relation to the rest of my life - especially the part that's
good and for which I should be grateful.Am I willing to waste my life worrying about trifles that drain my spiritual energy?
Today I Pray - May God keep me form worrying unduly about small things. May He, instead, open my eyes to the grandeur of His universe and the ceaseless wonders of His earth. May He grant me the breadth of vision that can reduce any small, fretful concern of mine to the size of a fly on a cathedral window.
Today I Will Remember - Microscopic irritations can ruin my vision.
