Summary: Are you spending your time wisely? This summer our two boys spent a week at camp. I didn’t know what life would be like without the boys at home. I tried to imagine quiet days without their laughter and still evenings without jokes and conversations. I must admit, I wasn’t looking forward to them being gone. They bring such life and action to our home. I couldn’t imagine them not being here. Now, camp has come and gone and thankfully they’re both back and life “as we know it” has resumed. But, their leaving did make me think… am I making the most of the time I have with them? Eventually, they will grow up, move out, and live independent adult lives of their own. My time with them is limited and precious. I don’t want to miss a moment. I want to take every opportunity to model and teach the love of Jesus, true devotion to Him, and the fullness of the life He offers. As I challenge myself, I challenge you too. Make the most of this time. As Ecclesiastes reminds us, seasons come and seasons go. Make the most of today. Regardless where you are in life, or with whom your life intersects, use this day to reach the people God has put in your life. They are there for a reason. Don’t miss this chance to tell them of Jesus.
