Four things you can't recover.

I was cleaning out my document folder and came across this little saying. I do not know where it came from but it is so true and gives one 'food for thought'.

The Stone ......after the throw

The Occasion....after its missed

The word.....after it's said

The time....after it's gone

How many time stones have been thrown that have hurt someone. I remember years ago God spoke to me and said 'Don't throw the stone' and 'Don't receive the stone'.

Occasions that we miss. A card we could have sent, a baked good, or tell someone we prayed for them today....and 'I love you'..and on and on....

The word that can give life or death to someone. Many years ago a preacher told the story of a woman who gossiped. And God said to her, 'it was like taking a pillow and going up on the roof and letting the feathers fly wherever they wanted. It would be impossible to go pick them all up.' Our words that hurt another can never be retrieved after they are said.

Our time that is precious and so fleeting. Taking the time to sit in Father's presence and let Him love on us and commune with us. How precious.

These are thoughts to think about today in our lives and remember a little saying,

'Yesterday is history,

Tomorrow is a mystery,

but today is a gift.

That is why it is called present.'
