Time doesn't stand still no matter who you are. It doesn't matter how much you wish you could have time back. You have to make every moment count and treat it like it's your last. The time you are spending now will never come again. How are you spending the time you've been given? Are you spending it on yourself or are you spending it on others? Is God invited into your life when you are spending your time?
Tonight, we were coloring Easter eggs with one of my little neices. There was some discussion about whether or not she was going to be allowed to cover the beautifully colored eggs with silly stickers. To an adult, stickers would typically ruin the looks of an Easter egg. Too a child, stickers would only enhance their beauty. The stickers were set aside in hopes she would forget about them and not want to use them on the eggs. She found them anyway and begged to use every one of them. My neices' grandpa announced that it would be fine for her to go ahead and put the stickers on the eggs afterall because it's really all about her anyway. I added that I agreed because there would come a day when we would all wish that we had this time back to let her use all the stickers she wanted. Well, my neice was thrilled and went totally wild with the stickers! She had a blast and Easter is a success as far as she is concerned.
This egg coloring situation got me to thinking and I just wanted to share this with all of you. Make sure you use your time wisely and you do nothing that you will regret years from now.
HAPPY EASTER!!
