The Opportunity Book

Edith Lovejoy Pierce once said " Years come and go. Are we growing and making a difference in the time God has given us? We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day."

I heard someone say on television a few mornings ago that we are now to that point in the year where the resolutions we made New Years Day have been forgotten. What about the resolutions you made or did you make any? Are the pages blank in your Making a Difference book so far? Have you already closed the Opportunity book and put it back on the shelf telling yourself you don't have time or energy to look for opportunities?

I'm going to be honest here.....I'm just a little bit lazy........okay, I'm a lot lazy. My intentions are good but I am also a procrastinator. I'm really good at putting off doing today what I tell myself I can do tomorrow. I'm extremely good at making excuses. And, the majority of the time, the things I put off doing I regret later.

Perhaps, I need to go get that Opportunity book off the shelf; open it's pages and see what opportunities I might find that need my attention..........today, not tomorrow.

"So be careful how you act; these are difficult days. Don’t be fools; be wise: make the most of every opportunity you have for doing good."
Ephesians 5:15-16Living Bible (TLB)
