My My Look at the Time!...

Its been a bit longer than usual since my last post...Ive had no Internet for 4 DAYS! Until now I never knew how sadly Internet dependent I am. I use it for coursework, emailing, watching online TV, Bible reading, Bible studying, reading books and just plain passing the time away...and blogging of course! Its actually got me a bit concerned about how entertainment based Ive slowly become without even realising it! My husband and I even realised how much entertainment plays a role in our spending time together, like watching movies, TV etc, which in my opinion theres nothing wrong with every now and then but we realised how long it had been since we just sat down and just RELAXED with each other. Just truly spending time with each other with no added extras like the TV in the background.

Its reminded me of the importance of spending time with those you love and I'm not just talking about husbands or wives here. I'm talking about those you LOVE; brothers, sisters, friends, grandparents etc. Making sure you know what they're going through everyday, their needs, smiles and tears. Only then can you truly bless those around you or encourage them if needed or even get the encouragement we ALL need sometimes. This time apart from my usual 'entertainment' routes has given me a much needed reminder of the importance of not getting sooo busy with our day to day schedules and 'pass times' to while away the time, because time doesn't stop for us; parents get older, siblings grow and start their own lives/families and friendships need working on just as marriages do.

Thank you God that you give us the grace to redeem lost time when we ask for Your help.
