Bloom where you’re planted

Burdens

“It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when tomorrow’s burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourselves so, my friends. If you find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God’s. He begs you to leave the future to Him, and mind the present.”-George MacDonald (1824-1905)

I came across this quote as I was writing up a post about dread and worry. I sometimes allow myself to become overwhelmed about our life of living with my dad as his disease progresses, even though he’s not moved in yet. Thank you to Debi at Life: The Journey.
