Thought for the Day 2/5/2008
One way to happiness ….
is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
Epictetus (c. 55-135 A.D.)
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or drink; or about your body,
what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
….Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes? ….
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:25-33
