Yes, trying to map out the day can be a pretty futile process sometimes. 

 James 4:13-15 New International Version (NIV)
Boasting About Tomorrow

>Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.


I was unable to post in my blog yesterday and then today, I was simply not called to.

Blessings.

YES. Perfection in words. “You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” The entirety of our lives is a single moment to the Lord. We also exist only thanks to the Lord’s will as mentioned. Thank God for that blessing above all, and then everything else is secondary.

Now, I can end my day right : )

I am not a fatalistic person but I go about my day thinking that it's probably my last.  I find it helps me focus more on how I am going to account myself with the Lord.  Everytime I lay me down to sleep, I always think of the day past and grade myself not on what I have earned or learned but on how pleasing my day was to God.  Guess what? I always have a big **F**.  And I always pray for another day and another and another.  God's mercy is what's keeping me in this world.  For that I am eternally grateful.  May He bless me with a little more time, so with the help of the Holy Spirit, I can make even just one second of my day pleasing to Him.  Then work on 2 seconds.  Then 3 and 4. And . . . .

Blessings to you and @jumpmaster whom the Lord used this day to bring glory to His name.

So we’ll said Gems. I think I earn an F pretty often as well! Funny how we go through our lives getting evaluated and graded on so many things, but we neglect that most important grade, in how much we have pleased our Father. Still, He loves us so much and accepts our faults and helps us right the ship whenever we face trouble. Because He understands it all and loves us more than we can ever even realize. I will also try to work on being pleasing to him 1, then 2, then 4, then 8 seconds per day. Thank you for that!

So, the same applies to you brother as I posted to Gems.  I do not believe the Lord gives out ~~many~~ any failing grades to those who truly seek Him.

Are not you glad our gracious Lord grades on a curve!

You have received an A+ for this day as you have been fully forgiven for your trespasses in as much as you have acknowledged yours and  forgiven others.  

Grade yourself as He does, for His burden is so much lighter than that you place upon yourself.

Blessings!
