Time Is A Beautiful Gift…
Good morning beautiful people, good morning. Recently I had family visiting. We filled the walls of the home with lots of laughter, some tears and made memories. Time is a beautiful gift.
The winter snow has arrived; the season has shifted and no greater gift to give this season like the gift of time. Here in my part of the country the winters are long, people sometimes feel lonely and isolated as the darkness of the night comes by. I can still hear the giggles of my granddaughters as they waited for the snow until the midnight hour. The joy of their laughter as the white flakes came to the ground still resounds in my ears.
Some folks today may be going through a difficult time. We all do. Those rough patches in life hits us all in one way or another. Maybe today you can add the gift of time to someone who is alone or someone who needs a hug, a few words of encouragement or just needs help to find meaning in their day. Time is a beautiful gift to give them. Make that phone call, pay a visit, mark it on your calendar, and thank God today for the time he gives us all.
Let’s Pray:
Father, thank you for time. Thank you for 1 Corinthians 13 that tells us if we speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, we are only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If we have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if we have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, we are nothing. If we give all we possess to the poor and give over our body to hardship that we may boast, but do not have love, we gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When we were a child, we talked like a child, we thought like a child, we reasoned like a child. When we became a man or woman, we put the ways of childhood behind us. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now we know in part; then we shall know fully, even as we are fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Have a blessed day God’s most beautiful people. Share some time with someone that needs it today. Use your greatest gift…
