Thankful

I'm praising the Lord for good news today. The breast lump turned out to be a benign cyst and does not have to be removed. Just a repeat mammogram in six months. I'm so relieved. The scare last week made me aware of how fast life can change. So often I go through the motions of daily living without stopping to think about how quick life could be turned upside down. 

I always hear people say how we should live every day as if it might be our last one. That's so true. We never know how much time we have left here on this earth. It's so easy to waste precious time on things that really don't matter. I'm guilty of this. Often I push my writing aside or put off going to see someone because I'm tired and just feel like vegging out in front of the TV, especially when I get home from work. There's nothing wrong with relaxing and taking it easy, but I need to make sure I'm using my time wisely. When each day is over, I can never regain that time again. It's gone forever.

As  a Christian, I'm supposed to be a good steward over all God has given me, including time. I need to start using it more wisely and spending less of it on foolish things. Regardless of the fact that I received good news at the doctors, it doesn't mean I have tons of time left here. So, from  now on I'm going to work on being more aware of how I'm spending my time and praying more about how God want's me to use each day for His glory.
