The Daily Ricky

Time is like a mist . . . poof, and it’s gone. We get so caught up in our lives, we miss a lot of the good stuff.

I had a job when our girls were growing, that allowed me to spend time with them.

I can recount numerous occasions. Then in later years, I changed jobs and worked many hours. I never got to spent quality time with them.

Before I knew it, they were graduating. Where did time go?

In our lives on this earth, we are preoccupied and distracted, we forget the important sometimes . . . At least I know I did!

Juggling a ministry, a job and family I know I missed some things.

Now as I sit in this chair, I have all the time I could possibly want but. My girls are all grown up.

We think we have all the time in the world but, we are fooled, our time slips by and Boom! It’s gone.

It’s like I’ve heard a million times over the years, when asking a non-believer to make a decision to walk in Christ's way, Oh I have plenty of time.

Well friend, time is shorter than you think, make the decision now before time is no more!

One night years ago, I went into a pool hall, when they closed, I had a bunch around me that I was telling the gospel.

There was one boy heavy on my mind, I pleaded with him to come to Christ but, his answer, I have plenty of time. Two days later he committed suicide

We never know what tomorrow will bring, we must be prepared and ready.

Lord of time, help us to make the most of (little) time we have. Amen!!
