What really matters in the end? Will it be how much you have accumulated? Where you have been? What you have seen? Will it be how many movies you have watched or how many games you have played? In the end, what will you count as most important?
When all is said and done, most people measure their quality of life in how much time they have spent with family and how much time they have spent giving to others, actually helping other people. They find value in giving. There is nothing quite like it, giving that is. To look beyond oneself and reach out to another always ends in great blessing.
A good friend, Matt, told me tonight that every Wednesday, he is tired and weary, hardly ready to go to church and lead an Awana meeting. But yet, every week after going in and working with the children - who are generally little balls of high energy - Matt goes home re-energized and really glad that he invested that time. In reality, he is offering his time as an investment in the future and in some cases, helping to build an eternity - do you think it is worth the effort? Matt does.
Where do you invest your time? Will it have any eternal consequence whatsoever?
