We are often reminded that our time is precious and we must spend it wisely. This is very true, but we don’t often look at the flip side of the coin. \u00a0We often think only of our own time, but very carelessly toss away the precious time that others have taken to spend time with us or do something for us. \u00a0My sweet baby had her precious time very carelessly tossed aside\u00a0and trampled\u00a0yesterday and it really hurts, a lot.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0I think about it this morning, He has opened my eyes to an\u00a0even greater sorrow. He has gently reminded me that\u00a0I have done this to His other sweet children many times… oh please forgive me my sweet Lord. \u00a0He has also opened my eyes to an even greater joy. \u00a0He has reminded me that He treasures all of our jewels, especially the ones that the world casts aside. \u00a0Glory to You my sweet Lord! Thank You, thank You, thank You…<\/p>\n

My sweet Lord, please forgive me and help me to treasure the precious jewels of time that others give to me so that I won’t\u00a0be the cause of this pain to You again, and an INFINITE THANK\u00a0YOU<\/strong> for treasuring and carefully gathering all of our jewels, especially the ones that the world casts aside and tramples.<\/p>\n

Psalm 90:12
\nTeach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ephesians 5:15-16
\nBe very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.<\/em><\/p>\n

Isaiah 45:3
\nAnd I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness \u2014 secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
