Looking Forward to 2011

As we look forward to 2011 we look at a block of time. We see 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds. And all is a gift from God. We have done nothing to deserve it, earn it, or purchased it. Like the air we breathe, time comes to us as a part of life.



The gift of time is not ours alone. It is given equally to each person. Rich and poor, educated and ignorant, strong and weak—every man, woman and child has the same twenty-four hours every day.


Another important thing about time is that you cannot stop it. There is no way to slow it down, turn it off, or adjust it. Time marches on.


And you cannot bring back time. Once it is gone, it is gone. Yesterday is lost forever. If yesterday is lost, tomorrow is uncertain. We may look ahead at a full year's block of time, but we really have no guarantee that we will experience any of it.


Obviously, time is one of our most precious possessions. We can waste it. We can worry over it. We can spend it on ourselves. Or, as good stewards, we can invest it in the kingdom of God.


The new year is full of time. As the seconds tick away, will you be tossing time out the window, or will you make every minute count?


Lets make it our goal to life this year in a manner that is pleasing to the author of time, Our Lord and Savior






'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord,'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,'


-Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)






Dear Lord, We pray that you will give us a few friends who understand us and remain our friends. A job to do which has real value, a mind unafraid to travel, an understanding heart; and sense of humor. Most importantly we pray that we would take the time for silent meditation that we may feel the presence of God; In Jesus’ name, Amen
