I remember a story my little brother Fred told about when one of his kids was potty-training. He went in after the child “did his business” and it was a mess! He called the child back in and gently scolded him about the mess and the boy simply replied “You know what? I’m not going to worry about it!”

We’ve laughed about that story many times in my family. That statement has gone into the McKinnon Family Archives of Sayings that gets longer every year. But you know what? We can learn a HUGE lesson about this.

He knew that he may have messed up. He also knew that he would not be the one required to clean the mess up! In other words, there was nothing he could do about it now. It was done.

I hear a lot about what’s going on in the world today. Are we in the last days? Is Obama the anti-christ? Is national health care going to start a decline the in the health system of America?

So many concerns. So many fears. So much of a mess. Some of it I may have a vote on. Some of it I may not. I have so much in my life that I have made a mess of in the past. It’s done. I can’t change it now.

I realize that, (though my Father may have scolded me for it and told me to be more careful in the future, or not to do it anymore) I am not the one required to “clean up the mess”. That’s the “Father’s” job. HE, and only He is “capable” of cleaning up the mess.

I don’t have to concern myself with worrying and fretting about it. So you know what?

I’M NOT GOING TO WORRY ABOUT IT!
