So true, and I try to remember this as often as possible.  It goes along with, "Let go, let God."  My cards got to people in time; even the package sent across the country made it there on Christmas Eve.  My brother's visit, which started out stressful weeks ago, turned out to be wonderful all around (I hope it was for them, too!)  I had my shopping done by Friday, wrapping by Sunday, cooking by Monday afternoon.  We left for my MIL's at 5:30 without any worries and had a wonderful time.  Thank you, God (and the US postal service, LOL!)

The most illustrative example was when I went shopping Thursday night.  I hurried out without doing our Advent activities (Jesse Tree and O Antiphons House.)  The weather turned sour, I found very little shopping, and I ran out of steam by 10 pm.  On Friday, despite my husband urging me to get out the door because time was ticking away, I took the time to do our Advent activities.  That night I finished all the rest of my shopping, and was thrilled with my finds.

BTW, here is the picture of our O Antiphons house.  This was my second creation, since the first, made out of construction paper instead of card stock, was a glue nightmare.  I used spray adhesive for this one.  The glue still soaked through, the edges did not seal tightly, and it curled a little, but overall, it was nice.  I used photo corners to hold each door closed until its day to be opened:
