Working Today For His Kingdom

"I know I can't go back (and even though I say sometimes I do, I really don't want to). But I can affect what I do today or tomorrow. I can make sure that I'm following hard after Christ, that I'm paying attention to my children with love and engagement, and that I'm working in my today for His Kingdom."
