Seth's (and my) Aunt Cherie in California sends me lots of fun notes and sometimes fun gifts in the mail, but she always attaches daily devotional readings. Today, I received this sweet reminder about our precious brevity of life and time. See below:
" Suppose your bank credited your account each morning with $86, 400.00, carried over no balance from day to day, and allowed you to keep no cash in your account. Then suppose that every evening the bank cancelled out whatever you failed to use during the day. All of us have such a bank. Its name is time. Every morning it credits us with 86,400 seconds. Every night it rules off as lost whatever time we have failed to invest for good during the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back with time -- no drawing against tomorrow."

You must live in the present. Invest it in order to deepen your life and your family. And most importantly, seize God's invitation to eternal life with him right now. Don't let another second go by unsure where you will be in eternity. We are only promised this very second. What a noble calling!
1 John 1:9
For if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins.
