Thought for today - 10/24/2011

 

TREASURE TODAY
"We have received freely from the hand of a loving Father. We've received grace, provision, talent, and countless other blessings. We are called to give as freely as we have taken. We are not entitled to anything. "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?" (Romans 11:35). God owes us nothing. He gives us today. We are not entitled to tomorrow. We have only today, only this moment really. And this moment is all that we need. A moment to pray, a moment to smile. A moment to praise, a moment to encourage. A moment to decide that, should we be given more moments, more days, and more years, we will spend them wisely, concerned not with what we can get but how we can give."
