Meditation:

We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end. – Seneca

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. – Carl Sandburg

More time is wasted not in hours but in minutes. A bucket with a small hole in the bottom gets just as empty as a bucket that is deliberately kicked over. – Source unknown

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. – Henry David Thoreau

INTRODUCTION TO THE SERMON

Families are under stress on every hand. The list of demands seems endless. The challenges children face are daunting. Parents are running on empty. And relief is nowhere in sight.

What can families do to not only survive but to actually thrive? What’s the best thing you can do for your family?

Family members often say things like, “If we only had more __________!” How do you fill in that blank? Money? Patience? Time? Education? Opportunity? Is there something that, if you had more of it, would make your family’s life better?

Our current sermon series is entitled, The Best Thing You Can Do. Today we turn our thoughts to family. What is the best thing you can do for your family?

A. Fletcher authored a simple rhyme which contains profound concepts.

Little drops of water
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land
So the little minutes
Humble though they be
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity

Maybe something contained in the heart of this verse points the way toward a simple but difficult choice that can change your family’s life. Such is the theme of today’s sermon.

God’s best to you – and to your family.
