It felt like those pages on the calendar whipped by like an expert shuffling a deck of cards at warp speed.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s led me to realize something important: Time is one of our most precious commodities.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like each of us has a bank account of days, hours, minutes and seconds to spend instead of dollars and coins. On the day we were born, God deposited the moments of our lives into that account\u2014and we get to choose how we spend them.<\/p>\n<p>Those moments can\u2019t be replaced. They can\u2019t be done over. And there\u2019s no guarantee about how many days and hours were deposited into our time accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Each moment is a precious gift from God. And that\u2019s the question for us: Are we spending those priceless days and hours wisely? The letters of \u201cTIME\u201d provide a great reminder of ways that we can use that gift to accomplish God\u2019s plan for us:<\/p>\n<p><strong>T = Talents<\/strong><br \/>\nAre we using the talents He gave us or are they going to waste? I love what Erma Bombeck said, \u201cWhen I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, \u2018I used everything You gave me.\u2019\u201d Like Erma, I want to use the time God gave me to accomplish the tasks He has for me to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I = Impact<\/strong><br \/>\nAre we using God\u2019s gift of time to impact the lives of others? All of us can volunteer at church or our child\u2019s school, do yard work for an elderly neighbor, encourage a single parent or help a disadvantaged child learn to read. And if we don\u2019t do it, who will?<\/p>\n<p><strong>M = My Loved Ones<\/strong><br \/>\nAre we spending all of our time at work or other pursuits, or are we investing our lives and love into our family and friends? Those are irreplaceable moments. I\u2019ve heard of many deathbed situations where people wish they\u2019d spent more time with their families, but I\u2019ve never heard of anyone wishing they\u2019d taken more time at work. Do our loved ones know how much we value them? Sometimes \u201clove\u201d truly is spelled t-i-m-e.<\/p>\n<p><strong>E = Eternity<\/strong><br \/>\nAre we using our time for what will matter for eternity? Many folks spend their lives accumulating &#8220;things,&#8221; but we can&#8217;t take them with us when heaven beckons. Those things that we <em>do<\/em> for God\u2013sharing our faith, teaching our children about Him, being extensions of God&#8217;s hands to others through kindness and love\u2013that\u2019s what will live on in others.<\/p>\n<p><em>So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. <\/em>(Psalm 90:12)<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/guideposts-daily-planner-2016.html?utm_source=shopgp_homepage_container2&amp;utm_medium=direct&amp;utm_campaign=dp16%20\">Manage your time better with the 2016 Daily Guideposts Planner!
