Psalm 90:12
So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Life is so short. And getter shorter it seems. I turned twenty years old this past November and life is running full speed ahead into my future! Let me stop to catch my breath...(sigh)... God has been showing me so much about redeeming my time for His glory lately. He is also showing me to do all things in His name- and I mean ALL. Anything- holding open a door, sharing a smile, or snapping buttons. You saw right. SNAPPING BUTTONS. On Friday, I got the opportunity to volunteer at the Samaritan's Purse here in Boone. While I was there, I helped with a mail order in which I snapped clasps together for name tags. However trivial or small this task may seem, God is using it for His glory. Those name tags are going to individuals from Alaska to New Mexico to right here in beautiful North Carolina. These individuals are helping to keep Samaritan's Purse and its mission efforts alive. Thus, my time snapping buttons on name tags has the potential to be part of someone coming to Christ, bringing one more lost sheep into the fold. And that, my dear friend, is what it is all about. Life that is; seeing people come to faith in Christ is what it is all about. So here's my challenge to you: Don't take one single day or minute for granted; serve Christ in all you do!
"This life soon will be past, only what is done for Christ will last."
-Jim Elliot
