We seldom realize the gift of time that allows us to become master craftsmen.
Our God sustains each of us and the world around us. We could die today or tomorrow and be face-to-face with the Lord.
Not wasting our lives, our time is vital to thriving during our short pilgrimage through this world. But alas we all waste much of the time provided.
I love to see and watch the gifts of God at work.
