WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW?

.You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” (Acts 20:35 NLT) At my dad's memorial service we asked people to write down their favorite memories of my dad. Of the hundred's of cards turned in - here are the top three: 1- His great smile that made everyone feel welcomed and loved 2- His jokes in which he couldn't get the punch line out because he was laughing so hard himself, and 3- He always had dollar bills to hand out to the kids. He had been doing this for many years. We figure that over time that he has "invested" thousands of dollars in young people's live one dollar at a time. Some are now adults themselves who remember receiving a dollar bill from him for memorizing their scripture verses. Someone once said that we should all do something that will outlast our lives on earth. What are you doing with your life right now? How are you affecting those around you? Is what you are doing with your life right now going to have eternal results or is it going to fade away like tonight's sunset? Think about that today and remember what Jesus said... "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
