Eternal Encouragement Magazine Review

2010 at my daughter's wedding
When I gained a son-in-law ;)

When we all lived under the same roof 

                                                                                                                                                      

Ever think about all the sayings using the word time?

  

Time after time   

 Time to go    

The time is right    

The time is now

No time like the present    

Take time to smell the roses    

Time will tell    

Time heals all wounds

Only time can heal a broken heart

Running out of time

Time management

Spend your time wisely

It is just a matter of time

Passing time

Killing time

All in good time

Time well spent

Desperate times

Time is money

One day at a time

All the time...

One at a time

Time flies

I have been contemplating the saying "time flies" a lot lately. As I look back over the past 24 years of being a mom, I realize that saying is my life right now.  It truly has "flown" as I watch my children leave the nest and venture out on their own.

I read this on another blog today:

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS DAY BY DAY

BEFORE THEY'VE GROWN AND MOVED AWAY

God has a way of taking my struggles and making me face them head on.  Especially when what I really want to do is just keep my head in the sand and wish it just weren't so. 

The "time has come" that I face my season in life and accept it as God ordained and be thankful.
  

He knew before I accepted the title of Gabby Mom that my April 2011 mission would be to review the magazine Eternal Encouragement whose theme is about time.  As I read, I was challenged about the use of my time.  No matter what fills the 86,400 seconds of my day, be it chores, discipline, relationship building, spending $$$, training, speaking, am I using that time to the fullest?  To God's glory or my own?


I will never relive one second that has already passed.  I have to make conscience decisions every moment to make it count.  WOW....that, my friend, is quite a challenge!

The recurring verse throughout this spring issue is :

If you struggle as I do with the fact that time will change your life in the future, or just need encouragement to use your time more efficiently.....click on over to www.eternalencouragement.com to subscribe for $25.97 a year.      

There's no better TIME then now ;)
