Setting the Example

So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
Ephesians 5:15-16 NLT

I have several friends who use similar quotes in the signature line of their e-mail replies. One is "Choose carefully how you spend your time today because you are spending a day of your life for it." Another refers to it as "trading a day." When was the last time you gave conscious thought to how you spend each of your days or the moments in them?

And in the spending and trading of our days, how many of us truly think about what kind of example we set for those around us every day? The truth is each day of our lives we set a GREAT example... Either it's a great example of how we should live or it's a great example of how we should NOT live. What kind of example are we setting?

What kind of example do we want to set? The choice is ours.

Prayer:

Father,
          We know the time is short. Remind us daily to make the moments count. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
