Saturday is coming

            I am excited that tomorrow is Saturday as the weather promises to be nice.
I have heard it is supposed to get to 64 degrees and that sounds most wonderful after days of temps in the teens and the highest being in the low 30's . It is no surprise that we have had weather like this as it is the season for it . Oh but a reprieve already is so welcome. Not to mention I have a project to do that requires temps up to at least 50 degrees. I have three doors to enter this house that need paint so I may be able to get this done. I cant at least do the first coat.
       It is amazing to me how fast the days pass and the seasons change. Life racing on and stuff to be done . So now although I have stuff to do I must remember to live in this moment, this season so that it is not wasted. This time to paint is a good thing and is living in the time I have been given. Today I was working on the lesson for my Sunday school class and it has me reading in the book of Esther . This book is as amazing as Esther herself . She lived in the life she was given and was used powerfully to save her people.  As I read her story I am encouraged to seek what ways God wants me to walk this life he has given me . I want to be wise and not foolish with my time . We are all given a certain amount of days to live and I want to live mine well .
    Ephesians 5 : 15 - 16 says , " see then that you walk circumspectly , not as fools but as wise , redeeming the time , because the days are evil."  Or there is the NIV that says it like this: Be very careful, then , how you live not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
    So as I attempt to paint doors this Saturday I will need to be careful so as to have the paint job look smooth and well done.  A very small job in comparison to the life I am given to live with wisdom .
   Lord Jesus without you I will live without wisdom that lasts and stands the tests of time. So fill me with your wisdom and keep me seeking you with all my heart and mind and spirit. Amen
