If you had a bank that credited your account each morning with $86,000 that carried over no balance from day to day, that every evening cancelled whatever part of the amount you failed to use during the day, what would you do? Ill bet we’d draw out every cent every day, and use it to your advantage! Well, you have such a bank, and its name is TIME! Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it rules off as lost whatever of this you failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balances, it allows no overdrafts. Each day it opens a new account with you. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against tomorrow.
There’s place where this wisdom is truer than with our families. Each day we have dozens of little moments to disciple our families and people around us. It is critical for us to remember that more time is wasted not in hours but in minutes. A bucket with a small hole in the bottom gets just as empty as a bucket that is deliberately kicked over.
This Sunday were going to discuss how to redeem the time of our lives to have the maximum influence on our immediate family and those around us.
