"God wants not our money  (because He has plenty)

                   not our talents (because He gave them to us)

                   only our time."  (I was told)

 

 

 How do we organize (God's) time?

- Is our time unblessed, unproductive or unrecognized by God?

- Other than this lawsuit, what have we accomplished? What have we to show forth?

- Is our time spent building that vibrant relationship with the Almighty, or simply busy fruitlessness?

- Is this time "our" right time?

- Are we growing through this experience, according to God's time table?

- Are we rushing ourselves ahead of God into our own decisions?

I am very touched by "The Leadership of St. John's". 

- There was no mention of names or titles so that no one can claim glory but God's unmistaken signature was definitely present. 
- Their leaders have spent valuable time in discerning God's Will before the court decision and have made definite plans to vacate, ready any time. 
- With great sensitivity to any slight change in God's time table, they shepherded and discipled fellow Parishioners to obey leadership's decision, with or without a vestry meeting. 
- They nurtured prayer ministry all through the year, not just at the final moments. 
- Last but not least, they utilize wisely their God given resources, putting them into good use to buy "time", in God's time.

 seconds... minutes... hours... days... weeks... months... years... decades... centuries...

 captured moments .... memories .... history .... generations .... everlasting .... eternity ....

 Now is the time ... The time is now ... The end is near ... Time ... It's now or never ?????

 "Yet no one seized him (Jesus), because his time had not yet come."  (John8:20)

 May the Lord grant us wisdom to re-think His time line for SMSL, in His Time!!!!
