Well as we enter into this new year things are as they always were, busy. How do we stop the madness. I can remember an old saying that many use in a negative way. I am sure that all of you have heard it before, ” I wouldn’t give them the time of day”. This means that you are so put out with someone that you would not lend them a second of your time. Maybe we could take this saying and use it to slow down a little bit ourselves. Lets look at it for just a moment. What if we identified certain things in our lives that are time consuming, then we put them in a categories. We could look at each thing and just say to it, today I am not giving you the time of day. What would we do with this time though, maybe we could visit someone we have never visited, maybe we could spend that time meditating on the things of God more. We could spend that time making calls to some who may be discouraged, or just need a encouraging word. We could go out and buy some cards and send them. I guess we need to ask ourselves the question, what do we give the time of day. Question, what if it were possible to spend and entire day doing something for God, would we, or would we give other things this time. God help us to redeem the time, to stop looking at time as just passing. Really we only have a short period to accomplish the things that God has appointed for us to do. I can assure you we don’t have time to waste.
