Carpe Diem

Question to think about: Will you seize the day because God is at work?

It is hard to believe that it is the last day of October. Seriously, where does the time go? In the midst of busyness, it is difficult to find any extra time . . . well . . . technically there is an exception . . . in our area of the world . . . we are gaining an hour . . . when we manually put the time back an hour on Sunday morning. The thing is . . . we need to appreciate all of the time we are given. In other words we need to "seize the day" as the Latin phrase, carpe diem, so aptly states.

When you get down to it, we often are more consumed with what we are doing than with what God is doing. In turn, we miss experiencing the value of the day.
But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.” (John 5:17, NLT)

God is always working.
Refocus on what God is doing rather than on what you are doing.
Seize the day . . . Carpe diem.

Learning with you to seize the day,
Shalom,
Kerrie
