Giving away

I was thinking today about school starting and not seeing my kids as much as I get to in the summer time. That led me to thinking about the time that I get to spend with them, playing hide and go seek, playing monsters on my bed with them, riding to school with Brii as she drives and watching them sleep. These are simple things that I get to enjoy as a parent.

Time and energy are two things that I get to choose how to spend. They are things that I have been thinking a lot about as the summer has ended. What mark am I making on this earth and in eternity? The answer to that question has very much to do with how I am spending my time and my energy.

I get to decide how to give away my time and my energy. So do you. Does how you are giving it away reflect the fact that your time and your energy are gifts from God? Does it leave a mark on this earth and in eternity? These are questions I have been asking myself and I thought that I would ask those who read this thing.
