I was sitting in church today and Pastor Pam was preaching and we were talking about spending time with family, friends, God. She was telling us about a man who came home from work and was very tired he knew his son was waiting to say goodnight.. He went in and said Goodnight and his son said Dad how much do you make? Dad was irritated and say enough go to bed. Dad really how much do you make ? Ok 25.00 /hour. Go to sleep . Then again the son said Dad can I borrow 10.00 dad say no and said go to bed. The next morning the dad felt really bad about saying no to his son, so he went into this son's room and apologized and gave the son the money. The boy was so excited he went to his piggy bank and dumped it out and put the money his dad had gave and on time and said Dad can buy an hour of your time. I was blown a way with this story and I had to take a look at my own life and my family .
Pastor Pam also said how much time do you spending praying to God. About 3 minutes of you time . I bet you spend more time on Facebook. Makes you stop and think about what you do with your life. If was very powerful to me and I realize I so not always give my children the time they need or the time that I should be giving to God and it is not the time that you ask for things it is waiting for him to talk and communicate with you .
“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day”
(Proverbs 4:18, ESV)
