Oh my. My first read encouraging thought of the new year. I hadn’t actually made that jump yet but maybe I should and you provide a good basis to think from.

Thanks for your comments. I write for myself as much as anyone else so I need to be always aware of spending my priorities and how I spend my time. Thanks for reading!

Yes, broaden our horizon - our activities now will have an everlasting impact! Even the things we discount, or think so little of, that couldn't possibly have any value, actually do have value. See Malachi 3:16-18.

Malachi 3:16-18 NKJV

Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name.

17 “On the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. 18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.
