If Only I Had ____

IF I ONLY I HAD ________.

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. Psalm 90:12 NLT

15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. 16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. 17 Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Ephesians 5:15-17 NLT

A Time for Everything
1 For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. 2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. 3 A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4 A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. 5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. 6 A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7 A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. 8 A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NLT

HOW CAN WE MAKE THE MOST OF OUR TIME?

DAILY INTIMATE TIME WITH GOD.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 NIV

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105 NLT

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 NLT

ELIMINATE OR MINIMIZE TIME ROBBERS.
● Interruptions
● Procrastination
● Poor planning

I realize I spend too much time _________________________________.

YOU WILL WAKE UP ONE DAY AND REALIZE YOU MISSED THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS, RELATIONSHIPS.

● They are never urgent.
● They are most easily damaged by busyness.
● We add and add while relationships are what get compressed.

“IF I ONLY HAD MORE TIME WITH MY KIDS”

“Am I being intentional with the time that I have?”

When we say yes to other things, a lot of the time we are saying no to our families.

Find a shared activity. Find a hobby or activity your child enjoys and spend time doing that together.

Find a shared purpose. The early years can be selfish years. Help your child to look outside themselves to help others.

How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog – it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. James 4:14 NLT

If you’re thinking “my child is too old now,” or “We don’t have a great relationship,” listen! It’s not over until it’s over.

WE DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE LEFT.

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. Psalm 90:12 NLT

● Plan intentional time with my family today.
● Give my life to Christ right now.
