Today Paul was talking with a person who has been in education for a number of years, and he commented on how quickly the years fly by. He mentioned that school gets started and all of a sudden it's Christmas, and as soon as Christmas is over you are heading head long into spring.
After Easter break school is out in just a wink of an eye. Of course, summers are never as long as we think. When it comes to a day, we all know how quickly it goes by. We often look at each other and ask ourselves, "How did we get to be this old?"
The Lord has given each of us a certain amount of time here on earth. We believe that we are going to have to give an account of how we used our time.There are so many things that can fill our plate and keep us busy but we need to have wisdom in knowing if it is a beneficial kind of busyness.
Psalm 90:12 tells us that we need to be taught to make certain our days are used wisely. Prioritizing our time and our talents help us to be wiser as we go through this journey of life. It is such a good feeling when you look back over a day or a week and see that someone has been encouraged or that you have made a difference in a situation or someone's life. As Christians we should be concerned about being obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit with our time, our involvements, and opportunities.
Blessings and Encouragement,
Paul, Gail, Patsy, and Penny
