The Gift of Time…

Time comes and time goes. It is something that doesn’t last and before you know it, all the time is gone. One day disappears in 24 hours, one hour in 60 minutes, 1 minute in 60 seconds… sometimes as quick as a blink of an eye. Think about it it. How many times have you wished that time could be turned back? A do-over?  Often in life we do get second chances. Maybe not a second chance to change a particular moment or decision in life, but a second chance to have happiness in that same way as in a second marriage. Unfortunately we don’t always know if that will happen.

Each moment that comes our way is important because we don’t get it back.  How can you make a difference in a day? Wake up to each new day refreshed and excited. Each day is new and a kind of do-over. Each day brings us the opportunity to be a better person. God says His mercies are new every morning… a second chance! I love how the message Bible relays this verse from Lamentations 3:22-23…

God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out,
    his merciful love couldn’t have dried up.
They’re created new every morning.
    How great your faithfulness!
I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over).
    He’s all I’ve got left.

So, what will you do today? Will you make it the best day ever? Or will it be a day you look back on and wish you could change? Your choice… make a it one you will never forget, in a good way!
