Precious Liquid


Precious Liquid
This little bottle holds 24 ounces of the most expensive and precious liquid known to man. It is called TIME. Each day we are given a 'bottle of time', and we are in charge of what we do with it. It is ours to use however we want. The rule is, once poured out, it's gone, used up and you cannot reclaim it. Each ounce we pour from our bottle represents an hour of time. You can keep it, spend it, throw it away, share it, use it, but never retrieve it. Some pour six to eight ounces out for sleep and rest. Some pour eight to ten ounces out for their job. We pour an ounce out here and there and wonder where it all went. If you think of your time as liquid gold, precious and costly, you view the time poured out a bit differently. It is a precious gift, a present from the Lord.  

Psalms 90:12  'So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.'

Have you ever poured out your 'liquid gold' on things that were not really that important? Have you ever felt that you wasted your time? We have all been in those shoes. Thank God, He gives us another chance, another day. 

 Lamentations 3:22-23 'Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning'

 How do you spend your time? Do you use it liberally or sparingly? Each day contains 24 hours. God wants us to be wise with the precious gift of time He has given each of us.

 Ephesians 5:15-17 'See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.' 

My prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of time and another day to live. Please help me Lord, to use my time wisely. Show me the important things and help me to apply Your Word in my life. I pray that everyone who reads this will be strengthened and blessed.
In Jesus name, Amen.

Reflector When we rise to the occasion as the Spirit of the Almighty God infiltrates our very being, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished through the mighty working of God’s hand. The wind blows and you do not see where it came from, but you see where it is going. The movement, the direction, of the wind can be seen and felt, just like God’s Spirit that rushes over us and fills us to capacity with His love and inspiration. Be reflectors of God’s grace. Be reflectors of His forgiveness and love. Be reflectors of His compassion. Do these things as a reflector back to God from whence it came. Do not shine in your own eyes or else you will be blinded and not able to see the right path. Always reflect back to Him, for it is He that imparts wisdom, it is He that imparts power and unfailing love. To God be the glory! Inspired by God   Written by Rhonda Norris

Run to the basement

Run to the Basement Run to the basement! Anybody raised up in the south understands what “run to the basement” means and you certainly don’t dilly dally around. Honey, you run! As a kid, when the bad storms came, that's where we would go, down to the basement. Whether we were in the house or outside, there was a way to get to the basement. It was the safe place.  As I got older, a funny thing happened. When I would be going through storms in my life, I would have dreams that a tornado was a coming. In my dream, I would be running back to the house to get to the basement, the safe place. Sometimes in my dreams, I would be telling a family member to go to the basement. I would either go to them in person or call them on the phone. I warned them, there’s a tornado coming! Get to the basement! I felt it was my duty to warn everyone. In my dreams I could feel the wind rushing and see the rolling dark clouds. This was usually during a hard time in my life, my own storm

The "TO-DO" List

The "TO-DO" List I have a to-do list every day. This ongoing list keeps me focused and helps me remember the things I don't want to forget. The beginning of the year is a cleansing time for my lists. All the things I need to accomplish, packed together and mingled with the things I want to do. Some are very important and necessary. Some are timely issues and some are things that need to be done "just because.' Why are these lists of things so important to me? Why do I NEED to write them down? Why do I need to see them on paper and talk about them in great detail, planning for them so methodically? I need to see them because they are already in my mind and planted in my heart. As I write them down, it magically makes them come ALIVE and they sparkle with hope of accomplishment and new territory to cover on this journey of life. So WRITE little heart, write to your heart's content. As the words in your soul pour through your pen and saturate the blank
