Turtle Tuesday: Marking Time

This week a friend shared with B the 'take away lesson' her son learned at a Christian youth conference a few weeks ago.

Time is a gift.

B, the turtle stamp has been pondering that lesson.

B realizes that no matter how small she may b, she still leaves a mark during her time on this earth. Today B is going to use her time wisely. She is going to give it ALL she has to honor her God and King.

Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise, who shout on parade in the bright presence of God. Delighted, they dance all day long; they know who you are, what you do — they can't keep it quiet! Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us — you've been so good to us! We're walking on air!

    Wow!!! I hadn't read that paraphrased verse! Love it!
    This is one of my same memory verses from the NIV:

    "Happy are those who hear the joyful call to Worship, for they will walk in the light of Your Presence Lord!"

    I loved the part of what it said about His vibrant beauty gotten INSIDE of US! Whew!

    He's teaching me all about the INSIDE~OUT of His HEART right now in my new journal!

    Blessed to have come for this Word from 'B'!

  6. Just joined! Your beautiful smile drew me in :) It took a few reads to realize that you collect 'turtles' :)

    'Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise, who shout on parade in the bright presence of God.'

    The 'passwords' of praise. WOW! finally - a password that's engraved on my heart and not just remembered in my mind!! No one can steal that password from my account. It's permanently securely protected from the enemy! by the King of all Kings in all HIs Glory!

    WOW! I SEE it! This word has just enlarged my hard drive! My praise in adoration of His Presence - protects His resources in me, and brings them to life - a life that's as FREE as walking on air!!

    Thank you B

  7. I absolutely love The Message Bible, B! It puts a whole new spin on things, doesn't it? Fantastic!

    Time is indeed a gift, and I pray that God will enable me to be a wise steward of the time He has given me.
