“The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.” 

-Psalm 24:1

The Bible reminds us that everything belongs to God, who we are and all that we have comes from Him. Two valuable possessions God has given us are our time and our families. God expects us to be good stewards (managers) of both.  Time is the God given span of our lives.  Our family is a group of people He           ordained for our care, comfort and protection. As Christians, we are to rejoice and give thanks to God for all He’s given us through Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18). The irony is that while God has given us both our time and family, we do not have control over how long we get to enjoy them. So take the time to cherish, hold and nurture those God has given you.  Hug your children, remind your spouse of your love and nourish family relationships. Let them know how much you appreciate and love them. Remember they’re ours as blessings, but only for a time.
