Just a thought by coppi

“Let nothing disturb you; let nothing frighten you. Everything passes except God; God alone is sufficient.”—Saint Theresa

Many times when I made a “goof” or was experiencing a horrific trial that I was worrying or badgering myself about, I was reminded of a saying a friend would say to me – “Coppi, what will it matter one-hundred years from now.” When I read the above saying by Saint Theresa I was reminded of that quote.  I was in St  Augustine , Fl, this past weekend and I visited The World Golf Museum.  It featured lots and lots of memories of golfers and their past history to view and read about.  All past history.  Yes, everything does pass away except God. God alone is sufficient as Saint Theresa said and when I think back over my life and the things I thought would kill me at that time they are now just a faded memory.  Crazy but it’s true.

    Yes, comfort in sharp realities converted into just softly faded memories
