Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. Ecclesiastes 9:10

 After working a career of 33 years, I have had a lot of free time in retirement. Schedules and deadlines are not required and time seems to be endless. But, if you know me, there is rarely any time the grass grows under my feet. I stay very busy and time does seem to fly by quickly. I guess the ole saying “time flies when you are having fun” is true.

 Today’s verse is a good reminder that you are here for just a brief while and eventually, like everyone else, will find yourself buried in a grave. No longer will you have time to spend with your family, witness to your neighbors, take care of those necessary repairs that seem to add up over time. No one knows the “set time” of their departure. That said, it’s important that you live life with purpose and do not sit idly by thinking you’ll “get around to that one day”. That one day might never come and the only one regretting your lack of initiative is those who are left behind to pick up the pieces or find themselves without a Savior because you never made time to have “that talk”.

 What’s on your list to do? Your life is important not only to yourself, but others who depend upon you in whatever role you have in their life. Make each day count because tomorrow might never come. God bless!
