Making Good Time

Use your time wisely. After all, we only get so much of it in a lifetime. Is everything you do worth the investment of time you put into it? You may not like the amount of time you have or when you must spend it.

"So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All
we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring (Gandalf)


Spend time on things that last longer. Naturally you would rather spend time saving money for a more durable item that you can enjoy or use longer. According to Isaiah, two things last forever: the Word of God (Himself) and the souls of men. Invest time in the Word and the welfare of your fellow man. Redeem the time by investing it wisely.

already quoting LOTR eh? good man!

i agree though. All that we control of our future is what memories we can make to look back on, so as to learn, smile, cry, laugh, and wonder.

It seems to me that we (humans) were made for relationships. Our relationship with God and others seems to be that which will span into eternity.
Isaih saw that clearly I pray we all can!
(Just my opinion.)
