I have recently added to the state motto “Live Free Or Die” for my personal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LIVE CARE-FREE OR DIE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I realize there are more things I have to let go—less to worry, and less to think.
The analogy is helpful to compare the mind and emotions to a computer.
There are limitations to multiple files open simultaneously, with hardware and memory upgrades not optional.
Adjusting is not easy, but necessary for survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two back-to-back Bible verses have the secret.
“Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
Casting all your cares upon Him, because He cares for you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do we humble ourselves ?
By turning everything over to God.
This becomes more vital with increasing age and decreasing ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never too old to learn ?—let go of what I think I have to do, what I think I can do, what just isn’t going to happen (at least not today).
I’ve known “casting all may cares on Him” all my life—now I have to do it in real life if I want to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, carefree—is that what it means—is it possible ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not a care in the world—
Just a God-given job\/task to do right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
