STOP WATCH ~ 

a watch with a hand or hands that can be stopped or started at any instant, used for precise timing, as in races.





Ephesians 5:15-17   New International Version (NIV)15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

IF I COULD STOP TIME ~
I would cherish a moment longer

There are moments in life that take our breath away. There are moments that we will remember the rest of our lives. That moments could be a very positive moment or a sad moment.  It is often hard to let go of what we see with our eyes. I would thinking about Father's Day that is approaching on Sunday.  I love my dad dearly and I was only 18 when he went to Heaven.  My dad went to Heaven inside our home and I saw that. I recall that experience in dreams or sudden reminds of him.  I missed the times we had to talk and I wish I had moments back again. I can not get those moments back and he would also be the first person dead I ever saw in my life.  A life changing experience and cherished moments of life. 

As I head into this Father's Day weekend, maybe you didn't have the dad you wanted in life. Maybe your dad wasn't in your life at all. There are kids who will cry from divorce and the being divided between mom and dad. There are kids who live in Foster Homes that don't understand some whys of life as well.  So many thoughts on one day and moments that take our eyes from tears to smiles or smiles to tears. Just a bunch of mixed emotions and need to feel the love of God.

​IF I COULD STOP TIME ~
I would tell you that you are important and what you think about is important.  Think upon the goodness of God and how he gave his only son for you.  

John 3:16  New International Version (NIV)16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believesin him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I realize that not everyone reading this is in a good stop today. There are moments that take our breath away and change us forever.  Tears of sorrow that we remember and it's hard to get through this. My prayers are truly with those who hurt today and don't understand their moment in time.  Whatever you face wasn't mean to stop forever, but stops you to pray and begin again.  I look back at life and I see changing moments for me. As a kid, as a teenager and many things as an adult.  It's not an option for me to stop believing in God or his power.  I have been through too much but there are moments that remind me of sorrows. It is in those moments that I turn my thoughts around to God.

IF I COULD STOP TIME ~
I would cherish moments more 

Time is the best gift you can give anyone. I was out with a friend last night and we were talking about friendships and life changing moments.  I began to tear up as I recalled somethings in life. Yet, it was those life changing experiences that made me who I am today. There was a song I heard as a teenager that I recall at times. It was titled, "I Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now".  It talked about going through things to get to Heaven. I often wonder if I had made a different choice in life, would I be different today. I think that answer is yes I would be different. I don't want to be different, I want to be who I am today.

Friends, life is hard at times.  Things were never meant to stop us forever. Just stop us and then to begin again. I thank God for another chance of life each day.  I plan ahead in prayers, giving thanks for tears and smiles. Through it all, I've learned to trust in God and I know his power is real.  

USE YOUR STOP WATCH and DO THIS: 

Proverbs 3:5-6  New International Version (NIV)

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight
 
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
