Living for all He's worth!

Friends,

Sorry for my long sabbatical from this blog. The past year has been one of the most eventful of my life thus far. I finished a degree, I traveled some, and I said good by to my earthly father as he went on to be with the Lord.

It has been a year where I have done much reflection on the importance of time. And how precious little of it each of us have. The scriptures tell us that the days are "evil". What I believe that means is that they are fleeting. So, we need to make our time count.

How often, I have "spent" time on things that were of little value. With my dad's passing I have come to realize that my time is very precious and needs to be "spent" with care and consideration for the value it is. After all, when a commodity is considered valuable, we do take care of it, or spend it wisely, in the case of money.

So, I am going to consider how I spend my time more carefully. All the while realizing that the best way to spend it is for the One who has purchased my life with His. That is, living my life for Jesus Christ. That means I allow Him to order my time and live this life to glorify His name as the Holy Spirit leads me to do so.

Will you do the same? Think about it!

May God bless you with an abundance of time to spend!
