Ephesians 5: 16 (Kjv) Like many times before, I walk into a bedroom, a familiar face of a loved one who passed years ago, I see, a framed picture of an older lady who spent much time with me, comes again into memory. And several other pictures are framed also, not frames of glass, not of wood, but in ones of my heart, if you could see them you would find, these faces and scenes of these dear souls, who for me, invested their time. And it is as if the good Lord is saying, she and the rest of them gave the gift of their time for you, because time is a precious thing, the treasures from memories of dear ones, you carry with you, for death, Where is thy victory? Thy sting? So boast not yourself of tomorrow, for you know not what a day might have in store, and redeem the time, my precious child, spend it wisely. Buy it up more and more. Live your life for others, but for me first of all, and when you need some extra grace, I wait for you to call, Love much, press forward, continue on the race, for I have carried your life this far, sufficient for you is my grace. The memories of ones who invested in you, they are now here with me, but you carry them in your heart, until my face you see. Remember and honor these, keep their memories alive as well, and point the world around you to me, while my praises you sing and tell, Be generous with my gift, for the gift of time is one of the most valuable you can give, guard it with your life, in celebrating others, and in how you live, let your light continue shining, and let the whole world know, that time is a precious thing, so redeem it well, while on this way you onward go.
