The Yellow River Game Ranch
Lance is on Fall Break this week, so we decided to have some family fun. Monday, he got to spend the night at Maine and Pop's house. Tuesday, Darren was off work. We picked up Luke from school then went to the park for a picnic. That night was had a back yard camp out which was very fun! We had a fire and roasted hotdogs and markmallows, then the boys slept in the tent and me and Levi came inside and slept in our warm beds. That's my kind of camping! Wednesday, we went to the Yellow River Game Ranch. It was a beautiful day and the boys loved it! Thursday (today) has not been as eventful. Luke went to school and Lance, Levi and I went to preschool to work for a couple of hours. We went over to Maine and Pop's to do some laundry and left Luke to spend the night. Lance had a game tonight and it was freezing! They did get their first win of the season, finally! Then we rode to Johns Creek to take Darren some eye drops, because he has pink eye again! Tomorrow we are making cookies for our fall gathering at the Rainey's on Saturday. Saturday, we will be busy. Pumpkin patch in the morning, then to the Rainey's for a short time before Lance's last (thank goodness) tball game at 3pm, then back to the Rainey's for more fall fun! Enjoy the pictures!
Happy Anniversary US! :)
Darren and I recently celebrated our 10th anniversary. I really loved the picture Lance took of us before we went out. We had a nice dinner at Shogun then went to see the Fireproof movie. We were supposed to go to the Shane Co. so I could pick out a ring to get made with my diamond earrings, but it closed at 5 so we didn't make it. We also need to get Darren's wedding ring sized so he can wear it again!
The Time of Your Life
Here's one to ponder...
The Time of Your Life
by Rick Warren
Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times! Ephesians 5:16 (MSG)
*** *** *** ***
Why is it that time drags when you want it to pass quickly and flies when you need more of it? It’s not very cooperative!
Time is the great equalizer. We all have the same amount of it. The difference between successful people and average people is this: Achievers manage their time wisely. Rather than wasting time or spending time, they invest time. They make the most out of each moment.
In these difficult days, people are realizing that time is more important than money. Money is a renewable resource - there are always places to get more of it.
But time is a limited resource.
You only have a certain allotment of time in your life. When it's used up ... that’s it! YOUR TIME IS YOUR LIFE.
When you give someone your money, you’ve given them something that you can replace. But when you give someone your time, you've given them a part of your life. This means time management is really “life management.”
The Bible has this to say: “Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times! Don’t live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants” (Ephesians 5:15b-17 MSG).
You could summarize these verses this way:
1. Analyze Your Lifestyle. Be aware of where your time is going.
2. Utilize The Present. Make the most of this moment.
3. Recognize What’s Important. Focus on priorities that last.
A question to consider throughout the day: “How much of what I’m doing right now is going to count ten years from now … 50 years from now … or for eternity?”
You have just enough time to fulfill God’s purpose for your life. If you can’t get it all done it means:
1. You’re doing things God never intended for you to do, or
2. You’re doing the right thing in the wrong way.
Prayer: “God, help me to manage my time wisely this week.”
