Death was walking toward a city one morning and a man asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to take 100 people," Death replied.
"That's horrible!" the man said.
"That's the way it is." Death said. "That's what I do."
The man hurried to warn everyone he could about Death's plan.
As evening fell, he met Death again. "You told me you were going to take 100 people," the man said, "why did 1,000 die?"
"I kept my word," Death responded. "I only took 100 people. Worry took the others."
Worry is, and always will be, a fatal disease of the Heart, for its beginning signals the end of faith. Worry intrudes on God's compassionate ability to provide. When we allow our problems to overshadow God's promises, we unknowingly, doom ourselves to defeat that was never part of God's eternal plans. Release the regrets of yesterday, Refuse the fears of tomorrow and Receive instead, the peace of today.
Remember: Worrying doesn't solve anything, Instead .. It hurts everything.
Thanks for a super post. I always used to worry about anything and everything. Now, through our wonderful program, I do try to hand it all over to God. As you say, worrying hurts everything!
Take care,
Carol

What a great story, and so true. I try to turn everything over to HP, but still struggle with the wat if's a lot. Thanks for the reminder that HP will take care of it if we will just let him.
