Business

My oh my, it has been a long time since I have last blogged. It's incredible how busy life can be; how quickly our schedules can fill up with things. It is hard to balance everything that needs to be done. It just seems that there is not enough time in the day to do all that needs to be done. That gets me thinking. What am I doing with the time that I am given? Am I just being a busy body that isn't really doing anything of significance or importance? Just going through the motions of life? Same stuff, just a different day? Is this what life is supposed to look like? Or is there something more?

Our lives are a precious gift. Every moment, every breath is a gift from the Father. The mere fact that we are able to get up in the morning, in our right minds, and do what we need to do should be more than enough of a reason to give God the praise and the glory He is due. Have our lives become so busy that we can't even pause for a second to give God some praise? I must confess, I am guilty of this. It is easy to get wrapped up in myself and all the things I need to do that I simply do not give thanks to God. How sad is that? My very next moment could be my very last! Every day, every hour, every minute, even every second is a precious gift. Time is not wasted when it is spent giving praise to God. Oh Lord, teach us to count the days! Teach us to make the days count. Lead us in better ways, for some how these souls have forgotten that life means so much.

Let us take some time today and every day to give God the praise He is due! Take some time out of your busy schedule to watch the video below and mediate on the words. Let us make the most of the time every minute we are living.
