“Make Every Day Count”

Ephesians 5:15-17

Count is defined as check in order; total; result; sum; outcome; whole.

We must be careful about our time and choices. Be an on purpose person. The only way to get our day started right is to start with God. In Psalms 5:3 David says, “In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will prepare a prayer and a sacrifice for You and watch and wait for You to speak to my heart.” Time stops for no one so please make every day count. Let’s start our day with gratitude for God and others. Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for us in Christ Jesus. Acts of kindness make you feel good, not to mention the person for whom you did the act of kindness. Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:31: “Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has.” Laugh a lot. Don’t take life so serious that you forget to live. Laughter is good for the soul. The person who can bring laughter into a room is indeed blessed. A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.

I come by this morning to let you know if you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. Make every day count because tomorrow is not promised to no one. Be bless and I love you!!! JE
