Such a great post - I love that I am your neighbor at #RaRalinkup These lines totally hit me: "We are free to spend it, to invest it, however we want. But we can. not. save it or store it away! It's like manna, only good for one day. Such a great point - and so true yet, I never thought about it in those terms. :) Blessings and thanks for getting me to reflect on this truth today. Oh, and I just love those moments when God speaks and we hear something that gets us to ponder.Debbie Kittermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043042529717117975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-4629322024244952312015-08-25T16:18:53.944-07:002015-08-25T16:18:53.944-07:00Oh my friend...

It's so easy to get caught up in a million things and subtly slide into a half-there presence with our family. Sometime's God gives us reminders that each day is a gift. That was definitely on my mind after a car accident this weekend. I'm so grateful to be okay, but it was a vivid reminder that we do not know the number of our days.

That is what I want to do too. Your post reminded me so much of the last paragraph in my post today. Kara and Andrew showed me and continue to show me what it means to 'live like we are dying" because you are right we are all dying...we do not know the day nor the hour. I am thankful for the time that God lavishes upon us and I don't want to squander it away, I want to relish in it. Tara Ulrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619365758739247929noreply@blogger.com
