Good Monday morning…..
What a bright day! When the sun shines down on the wet grass; thoughts of summer pop into my head and I’m expecting warmth soon. This is such a great place to be in…..let’s be thankful for this beautiful country and such a beautiful day!
Starting your day off in an attitude of gratitude…..how wonderful!
Recently I’ve heard some people talking about “waiting” until “something” is over; then they will do “something” else with their lives.
For example…..finishing school before getting a job, completing a very active social life before settling down, sowing wild oats….(yep) before being responsible, and becoming financially set before starting a family. (Does that always work?)
So much time is spent “waiting” around that at times we get very little done. Garth Brooks sang a song entitled, “If Tomorrow Never Comes”….talk about an eye opener.
George and I were directed to reflect on this song while attending a marriage conference. What a great impact that made. Are we living our days like they are the last?
Then we have married couples that say, “In two years or so after I am well established in my career, we will start a family.” I’ve seen this happen so many times – this is when we discover that our time in not God’s time. Once again, we are not in control.
I heard the story of one young man who just wanted to party a little longer, spend more time with his friends then go home to his young wife. One night he did go home after being out and his young wife was gone. Not everyone waits around for us to get “done” with our personal experiences.
So here is the check point…..time to make those necessary changes now, time to get serious about what needs to be done.
You have a decision to make….you have a difference to make. Now is not the time to wait. Now is not the time to say…."I’ll do it soon."
People are waiting for you to make a move; your career is hanging in the balance waiting for you to get serious, your loved ones are waiting for you to make a commitment, and if you haven’t noticed yet, the Lord is waiting for you to open the door. (This waiting will not last forever.)
How much time do we all have? No one knows and we thank God for that but I know this, time doesn’t last forever so make the most of what you have been given.
You’ve all heard before that the only time we are sure of is the time that we are currently in….that is why it is called the “present.” This truly is a gift to behold. Let’s not waste it, let’s not tarry in play, let’s make a difference with it.
Enjoy your time, give of your time, take authority over your time and love someone with your time. Whew – being productive with your time. Let’s get this done. Nancy
