In reply to: JulPisacane 's message, "What Time Is It?" on 16:58:49 05/15/09 Fri

one of my favorite passages of scripture:

Ephesians 5:14-17 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Another that fits nicely also is: Colossians 4:5-6 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

As always Julie a good poem with lot's to ponder.

God bless and thanks for being such a blessing here.

I had an " off week "in handling certain matters
that I thought I could handle. My emotions
ran amuck , but you know something ...the mercies of God blanketed me and obeying Him , trusting Him --
helps me to be humble again .

My speech was anything but graceful - I confess. I wish I could have done better. Glad to still be on His Potter's Wheel .

May the Lord place my wrongdoings into His sea of forgiveness and help me to walk
upright-with wisdom - as He purposed .

Thanks for sharing those verses . Will read them again and again this week-end.

**Someone on my Shoutlife page shared the following verse as well , Hillbilly. I am truly thankful for my Christ family.

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray,
and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

I thank God right now for you and everyone here .

Love ,

Julie
