Things that matter.....

Things that matter....

I was watching a special report about Charles Krauthammer and his book, "things that matter". A writer, a political analyst, a Pulitzer Prize winner, father, husband, baseball fan......paralyzed  since college years ....an interesting person....I do not know his religious background...

It was a reminder of some scripture I had read earlier in the week..... 

Ephesians 5:15-20 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

-be very careful how you live 

-do not be foolish

-understand what the Lord's will is

-do not get drunk with wine 

-be filled with the Spirit

-sing and make music from your heart to the Lord

-always giving thanks to God for everything 

Each of us gets to make the choice on the things that matter in our lives..it is that free will that we are given...there are times when we feel the strong pull In our beings that we should be doing certain duties, but we still have a choice...God so desires that we choose Him for eternity ....that He would matter...

On this note, a question was asked recently, " who would you rather meet, your great great grandparents or your great great grandchildren?"

My answer was my great great grandchildren...I want to see if the legacy is still being handed down, that God is still honored...does He still matter in their lives?

Thank YOU that you matter in my life...that You make yourself known daily...help me to be careful in how I live, to always be going thanks....help those that follow to choose You above all...
