RADIANT LIVING
.TOMORROW'S TROUBLES
BY REV. C. M. GRHFETH
Pastor Methodist Chufeh, Ceollton, Nd.

Almost everybody's joy is marred
by tomorrow's troubles.
Somehow, not being satisfied with
the amount of trouble we have to-
day, we have gotten into the habit
of filling our minds with worries
about what may happen tomorrow.
Some people make such a habit
of gathering worries, fears and
breads, as to make you think that it
is sort of hobby with them.
But why should we foolishly fill
our minds with troubles which do
not exist and thus be so distracted
from today's joys that we lose the
thrill of living?
What we should force ourselves
to realize is the fact that tomor-
rows troubles do not as yet really
exist. Tomorrow has not yet come
and therefore these troubles id not
exist. At least they have not as
yet arrived.
But by giving your thought to
these anticipated troubles and wor-
rying about them you give to such
non existent troubles sufficient
reality in today's thinking as to
enable them to work you harm
even before you meet them tomor-
row.
The anticipated troubles of to-
morrow. when dragged into today's
life, will rob you of your peace of
mind. The habit itself of constant
ly anticipating trouble will under
mine your health, sap your
strength, and carve deep lines upon
your face
Why then cloud today's skies
with the storm clouds of tomor-
row? Determine to enjoy the sun
shine today while it is still shin
ing. Then, should the anticipated
storm come tomorrow, you will be
the better able to face it.
By the way. how do you know it
Is going to storm tomorrow? The
often changes during the
night.
Happy is the person who can let
tomorrow take care of itself.
