Reflection for the Day
When I dwell on piddling things that annoy me - and they sprout resentments that grow bigger and bigger like weeds - I forget how I could be stretching my world and broadening my outlook. For me, that’s an ideal way to shrink troubles down to their real size. When somebody or something is causing me trouble, I should try to see the incident in relation to the rest of my life - especially the part that’s good and for which I should be grateful.

Reflection for the Day
When I dwell on piddling things that annoy me - and they sprout resentments that grow bigger
Am I willing to waste my life worrying about trifles which drain my spiritual energy?
Today I Pray
May God keep me from worrying unduly about small things. May He, instead, open my eyes to the grandeur of His universe and the ceaseless wonders of His earth. May He grant me the breadth of vision which can reduce any small fretful concern of mine to the size of a fly on a cathedral window.
Today I Will Remember
Microscopic irritations can ruin my vision.
