”’This is the day that the Lord has made.’ This – the one I’m in right now. Not yesterday. As much as I want to reach back and relive something or reminisce or bring back somebody who’s gone or feel what I once felt – that’s all in the past. I can’t reach it, I can’t touch it, I can’t return to it even if I tried. The door is closed. This day – the one I’m standing in – is the day the Lord has made. This is the day. This is it. How I live this day is what matters.”
