The Time is Now

Good Morning Everyone,
Looks as though I over extended myself yesterday.. Yep, did it again.. (smile) Passed out in the garage and snapped my neck.. When I came too, I tried to get to the house and made it to the patio swing, had a glass of juice and rested for awhile and then started for the house.
Only made it to the door though.. Fell in the door way across one of Connie’s flower stands and got a little bruise on my ribs.. Connie girl, Tracy, and Dianne helped me to my ole chair and I spent the evening there.. But this morning I am doing pretty good. Head is hurting and kind of dizzy but doing OK.. The good news is the bus is done.. Just a little pin strip tape to touch it off and it’ll be completely finished.. I may get Eric to do that for me..(smile)
Danny called and said the he rolled some hay for us so this morning Connie got Jimmy to come for awhile and take the tractor to get the horse hay.. They are in 1200 to 1500lb rolls. So Jimmy is going to load them on the trailer with the tractor and Connie girl, Jarod, and Dianne are driving the ole Dodge truck and will bring them home and push them off. I plan to place them in the barn latter today with the tractor. Maybe this afternoon if all goes well.. The one thing about hay is that you have to do it when the time is right. It is supposed to rain this evening and if the hay gets wet I won’t be able to put the it in the barn.. A little thing called spontaneous combustion will come into play and we sure don’t need the barn to burn down. So timing is crucial.. Speaking of time;
There is something that you can’t get back and that is, last month, last week , yesterday, or even 1 minute ago. And you can’t be sure of being here next month, next week, tomorrow, or in the next minute. Just what does that leave us? Yea, right now, this very minute, a split second in time. What are you doing with this minute? What have you been doing that has lead up to this moment in time?
This is something that most of us never think about. We just go on like there is no tomorrow. We enjoy everything we have and say, ‘next week I’m going to do this or that.’ I have asked people if they have accepted Jesus as their Saviour and I sometime get this reply. I’ve been thinking about that but I have been so busy that I just haven’t had the opportunity with my time schedule.
Most of you who read this are saved. And so my question to you is this. When is the last time you witnessed to a lost soul, (friend, fellow worker, relative, etc.) told them about Jesus and lead them to the foot of the cross? As born again Christians you are ambassadors for the kingdom of God, which leads me to; My Thought for Today;
II Corinthians 5: 20, 21 and Ch. 6: 1, 2
[20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.[21] For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Ch 6: 1, 2
[1] We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.[2] (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Jesus didn’t save you to be lazy and frolic your life away. The time you have now is precious and should not be wasted. Each of us as children of God are ambassadors and as such should spread the good news of Christ. Why not share the gift of eternal life with a friend. Tell them about Jesus and what He has done for you. Someone took the time to tell you about Jesus one day. Can you do no less for someone else??? Leading someone to Jesus is like getting in the Hay. It has to be done before the rain comes and we never know when a persons time is going to be over. May we realize the importance of being an Ambassador for God in an Accepted Time. Well Glory!
