It is a funny thing....no matter how much planning, no matter how much anticipation, events pass as quickly as they got started. We spend weeks, and sometime months, planning and preparing for an event. The day arrives and all the weeks and months of planning are over. And in just a few hours the event is over as well.
That is a fact of life. We plan for events; we anticipate their arrival. And, when the day finally arrives, the event is over. All the planning sometimes seems to have been in vain.
The only thing for sure in life is that time never stops. It does not matter your economic status, your racial heritage, your income, the size of your bank account; time does not stop for anyone. We are all given the same amount of time: 24 hours in a day; 7 days in a week. What we do with that time is the only question that really matters.
What are you doing with the 24 hours given to you today? Once the minute is gone, we cannot get it back. You can spend the day sitting in front of the television watching the ball game or you can spend time playing ball with your family and friends. You can complain that your Congressman does not listen or you can pick up the phone and call them. The question becomes what are you doing to change your world. What are you doing to impact your world.
As a follower of Christ, I have an example of someone Who impacted the world around them. He was not just a bystander. He did not live His life in a vacuum. Jesus lived out His beliefs. And He calls us to do the same.
Live your life intentionally today. Impact your family. Impact your world. Do something to make a difference.
