Blog Your Blessing #5

I don't know what possessed me to take a photo of this clock in the downtown area where I live but I have a feeling I thought I would use it someday to post about my blessings.

That day/time has arrived. Last week I spent using my time and talents for my church and this week, I devoted the time
to myself and my apartment and had time for others too.

I started the week with time to worship my creator.

I took the time to rest frequently.

I used some time to get more settled in my new apartment.

I had time to work on my hairpinlace crochet projects for the VA and finished two neckscarves and got the 12 hairpinlace strips made for two cape shawls and started on a toddler afghan..

I spent time doing necessary things like grocery shopping, laundry, house cleaning.

I gave myself time to take photos.

I saved time to go for several walks, including one long one.

I enjoyed the time I spent listening to a singer and a violinist that entertained for our building for a 95 year old lady.

I had time to gaze at the Autumn beauty God has provided for me through my 8th floor picture window .

I organized activities for our ladies group and got all the information on the bulletin board in plenty of time.


To everything there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A timeto kill and a time to heal;
a time to break down and a time to build up;
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get and a time to lose;
a time to keep and a time to cast away;
A time to rend and a time to sow;
a time to keep silence and a time to speak;
A time to love and a time to hate;
a time of war and a time of peace.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)

Time has really been my blessing this week. I pray that I can always use it wisely.

"Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever."
