today

While riding around the other day, lost on an old county road.  I came upon an old cemetery.  It had been raining and there was a pleasant light over the place.  I got out and walked around looking at the old stones that served as memorials to those who were once just like me.  Each of these images came from the markers in that cemetery.

I got to thinking, and asked myself, “What do I have that they do not have?”.  The thought came to me, “The only real thing that I have is Today… This moment.  You know one day in my future my heart will beat its last time, one day someone else will remove my shoes.  On that day, I will have no other opportunity to encourage those around me; on that day, I will  not be able to tell those I care about most, how much I love them.  All I have is today… This moment.

I send this to you and ask, “What are we going to do today?”

Think about this:

  • Can you kill time without injuring eternity?

  • Every moment comes to you pregnant with a divine purpose; time being so precious that God deals it out only second by second. Once it leaves your hands and your power to do with it as you please, it plunges into eternity, to remain forever what you made it.

  • It’s up to me to use it.
    I must suffer if I lose it.
    Give account if I abuse it.
    Just a tiny little minute,
    But eternity is in it.

Have a great TODAY ! ! !
