OUR LINGERING TIME

Goodbye & Hello 


                 Time... especially today is such a wonderful gift from God! Every tick of a second is precious.  Every minute is intrinsic and every hour is exchangeable.  One year has an equivalent of 12 months; 52 weeks; 365 days; 8,760 hours; 525,600 minutes or 3,153,600 seconds.  Time is everything free!   The issue is, your choice and my choice- how to spend time productively!


 When ....   Parents take care and train their children.
                  Teachers spend much time in preparation for knowledge & teaching.
                  Children are obedient to family rules & take part in chores.
                  Students listen and study hard!
                  Employees & workers excel in their field and are loyal.
                  Employers motivate & develop subordinates.
                  Drivers drive responsively & thoughtfully.
                  Scientists dwell more on research & discoveries.


 Habitually...                                                                                                                                   Spending time with God our Maker! in prayer, Bible study & singing.

                  [add some more...]                                                     


Time can all be wasted in 
                   
        > self-serving;  pleasures of this world; unmindful of        
           the passing hours
         >spending much time in television & hobbies; busy- 
           bodies in other men's lives; uncontrollable desires;                
         >buying stuffs that are not needful 
         >care free lifestyle; not taking care of family  
           especially with spouse and children
         >no plan but just exists (eat to live & live to eat); 
         >wallowing in guilt and self-pity;                                                   
         >leave out God as if he/she can manage without Him; 
         >living in mediocrity & apathy;                                                                                                         
         >Well, this list can go on and on however they all eat up God's
           valuable time.


                  HELLO HAPPY NEW YEAR & GOODBYE PAST YEARS!
                              
Time will never, never return, we can either make good use of it until we are able or 
                                                simply waste it...
Again, HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wish you the power of The Holy Spirit and the
everlasting relationship of Jesus Christ! Just have faith in Him, He died for everyone
