Spring Ahead

Don't forget to set your clocks ahead!
Is it just me or did this totally "spring" up on you too? I can't believe it's that time of year already. Once again, the year is already passing by very, very quickly. Every year seems to go by just a little faster than the year before. From what my Grandma says this is to be expected.

It reminds me that I must make the most of each day and seek God to help me prioritize my life by the things that are the most important. Each day is a gift, I pray that from this day forward I become a better steward of the time I have. I pray that each day I love my family better and I spend my time on things of real, eternal value. I pray that each day I would seek His will because only He knows what those things are.

Sometimes we as humans think that to do something important is to do something big and dramatic. I'm beginning to understand that sometimes the thing that God wants me to do, the thing that is most important to Him is to mop the floor so that it's nice when my husband gets home because this communicates love to him. Or maybe it's to sit with my children and read, stop from all the busyness, all the to do lists and just interact with them. Or maybe it's to go out of my way to help someone I know is in need today, whatever that need is, if it's one that He enables me to meet. These things sometimes seem like small things but I know in the whole scheme of life it's these things that really do mean the most.

So as we go into this new season let's try to make the most of the time we have been entrusted with and the people whose lives we touch. Let's dare to be a blessing.
