FOODFORTHOUGHT

NO TIME

I knelt to pray but not for long,

I had too much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work

For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,

And jumped up off my knees.

My Christian duty was now done

My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time

To spread a word of cheer.

No time to speak of Christ to friends,

They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,

That was my constant cry,

No time to give to souls in need

But at last the time to die.

I went before the Lord,

I came, I stood with downcast eyes.

For in His hands God held a book;

It was the Book of Life.

God looked into his book and said

"Your name I cannot find.

I once was going to write it down . . .

But never found the time"

LIVING YOUR LIFE WITHOUT SIN

There was a little girl, whose father was a pastor.

One day, she came to her father and said, "Daddy, can a person go their whole life without sinning?"

The father answered, "No, honey, I'm sorry, but that's just not possible."

"What about a year, daddy?  Can a person go a whole year without sinning?" She continued.

"No, I don't think that's possible either."

"What about a day, can a person go a day without sinning once?"

"It's very unlikely, no, I don't think they can."

"What about one moment, daddy, can a person go one moment without sinning?"

"Yes, that is possible."

"Then daddy, I want to live my life, moment by moment."

Isn't that how we should live our lives.  Not looking ahead to our whole lives, or distant plans.  But live moment by moment, as if this moment where your last one before you reach eternity.
