The Value Of Time

Good Morning guys,
It rained last night in Georgia and I am grateful to God for that. Do you ever wonder where the rain comes from? Ask a 5th grader about the rain cycle and you will be amazed. Sorry for digressing, but I just had to talk about the rain last night. It was wonderful to hear it, very calming, reassuring- like being rocked in a cradle. God is good!

I want to share with you a poem called, “The Value of Time” that was forwarded to me. As we reflect on what this year has brought us, let us begin to focus and plan to make 2008 our best year yet. Please continue to send me your thoughts, poems, questions, articles, etc. and if appropriate, I will post them. Let’s work together so that we all can be Winners at life!

Stay Blessed!
Joyce
