The wealthiest places on this planet are not the oil fields of Kuwait, Iraq or Saudi Arabia. Neither is it the gold and diamond mines in Sou
th Africa, the uranium mines of Eastern Europe or the silver mines of Africa. Though it may surprise you, the richest deposits on our planet lie just a few blocks from your house.
They rest in your local cemetery or graveyard. Buried beneath the soil within the walls of those sacred grounds are dreams that never came to pass, songs that were never sung, books that never written, paintings that never filled a canvas, ideas that were never shared, visions that never became reality, inventions that were never designed, plans that never went beyond the drawing board of the mind and purposes that were never fulfilled. Our graveyards are filled with potential that remained potential…what a tragedy!
Time is a very precious commodity because as one said, “it is the stuff that life is made of.” Every minute spent is that much of life that is gone and one minute closer to the last moment we have to spend in this world. We are to “redeem the time, because the days are evil.” We are to rescue these days of evil by transforming them into opportunities for doing good. Each of us have only a limited amount of time for Christian service, and no one knows when that time will come to an end.
Every blessing to you, Brendon.
