COOPERATE AND GRADUATE

We do not need to believe in God for Him to take good care of us, which was a blinding flash of the obvious several years ago.

The question is, knowing that AND believing in God, why do we continue to worry, fret and stew about our future, whether we're going to have enough, or our past, how we can make a rue, regret, remorse unhappen.

Those two frets keep us forever untouched by the here and now, the place where God lives.

The President/CEO of the last place I worked had a saying, "Cooperate and graduate." Whenever a snag in plans came up, or a snarl between members arose, he'd bring it all together with those three words. It took me awhile to realize that dictate is the modern-day equivalence of the Sermon's "Agree with your adversary quickly." Which led to my big-bang realization that we can't go wrong when we rely on spiritual principles in our daily life.

It is that reliance on spiritual principles that keeps us in the here and now, unfettered by "what if?" and/or "how to CYA?"

This is a lesson we learn...and then relearn a time or two ( to quote my beloved Chet). Thank God that God is patient.

Thank you.
