|
|
| Since mornin' comes an hour early, I'm gonna cash in a bit early. An ol’ Indian said that only a fool thinks he can cut one end of his blanket off, sew it on the other and have a longer blanket! Daylight Saving Time! We Yankees are doing that. Do our good neighbors to the North partake in such foolishness? We can not save time. Second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour time comes at a predictable pace, and then it is gone. No one saves it. We can only redeem it for something of value. That raises the question, “What is of value?” We all trade some time wisely, some foolishly. The best investment of our time is in things of eternal value. David said to God “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Paul told the Ephesians “see then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil.” The idea is not just to use your time, but to use it wisely, because one simply cannot save it. Have yourselves a good Sunday mornin’, and a fine rest of the week too. Spend that time wisely!

JohnSD, I will give you an example of differences in times use and value.
Most areas use the term "If I don't get it done today it will be done tommorow."
Due to shortness of seasons in our immediate area, this is known as the "next year country".
