Time ...the comodity you never get back.

They say if you lose money, status, and possessions you can regain them back, but time is the only commodity you lose never to regain again. Once a moment is gone, it is gone forever. As I grow older, I realize this principle more and more. Like a vapor it is gone. The bible encourages us in Ephesians 5:16 to "redeem the time" for the days are evil. In other words, make the best use of your time. Sometimes we must seize the moment because that moment will never happen again ever! I remember when I was a young mother toting all the baby and kid paraphernalia around, by the third child I secretly wished for that season to pass quickly, but now looking back those were the most precious moments and I would probably pay a million dollars to do it again! I encourage moms to enjoy every second and stage of their kids lives, because soon "Father time" will snatch the years away! There is a season under heaven for every activity. If we don't take advantage of that season, we miss the opportunity and what could have been never comes to be. As we enter 2016, I can't help but be sober minded of the time and will take advantage of every moment with those who are in my life and take advantage of every opportunity that is given to me. Let me encourage you to do the same. Remember, time is tickin away!
