We have all asked and been asked that question many many times! What have been some of the responses you have gotten or some you have given?
Being a switchboard operator, I've heard ALL kinds of anwsers!! Some I will never be able to repeat.
Today I would like to share with you one that I have never heard before, that really blessed my soul and reminded me of the presence of God.
I asked my friend Anthony Williams today and his response was...."I am Blessed and highly favored!"
HOW REFRESHING! I love those words!!! I pray we apply them to our lives today!
I hope you seek the Lord's presence today above ALL else.
In His name and with His love, Kim Q.

Children spell "love"....T-I-M-E.
Don't be fools; be wise: make the most of every opportunity you have for doing good.
-Ephesians 5:16 (TLB)
A father called his young son while out of town on business and asked, "What would you like for me to bring to you?" The two-year-old whispered, "Come out clock." The father wasn't sure he had understood him, so he asked his son to repeat his request. Again the boy said, "Come out clock."
The man thought this fairly odd, but the next day on his way to the airport, he bought a large toy clock for his son. His son happily opened the present, played with it a few minutes, and then returned to doing what he had done virtually nonstop since his father had walked in the door:tug at his pants leg. The man looked at his wife as if to say, What's going on? I don't get it.
At that moment their cuckoo clock began to strike the hour and on cue, figurines of a woodcutter and his wife popped out, chasing a little boy and girl, with all four then retreating into their cottage. The little boy looked up at the clock, then beamed at his father. The mother suddenly understood. " Each time the clock has stuck the hour," she explained, "I've been telling our son, 'It's about time for Daddy to come home.' I think he must have been waiting for you to come out of the clock and chase him around the house!" The father promptly did, to glees of laughter!
Children soon learn how precious time is - that's why when a parent gives it to them they feel so loved!
You don't have to be a parent to bless a child with T-I-M-E. I pray you find it in your heart to give T-I-M-E this week to make a difference in a child's life!
