a funny email I wanted to share



LADY'S YEARLY EXAM

I went to the doctor for my yearly physical.
The nurse started with certain basics.

"How much do you weigh?" she asked. "135," I said.
The nurse put me on the scale.

It turns out my weight is 180.

The nurse asked, "Your height?" "5 foot 4," I said.
The nurse checked and saw that I only measure 5' 2"

She then took my blood pressure and told me that it is very high.

"Of course it's high!" I screamed, 'When I came in here I
was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!"

She put me on Prozac.

What a bitch.

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16

Are you making the most of every day? Or do you feel rushed with never enough time to get everything done?

God has given to each one of His children a measure of time to live on this earth. Every day is a gift from God… and every breath you take is from Him. He has prepared a specific plan and purpose for your life that He wants you to accomplish during the time that you have. But in order to do so, you need to be a good steward of your time and not waste it away!

Our verse for today encourages us to walk carefully—with precision, purpose, and determination. This is important because you only have one life to live, and you don’t know how long it will be. So it’s crucial to seize the day and live every moment to the fullest.

The Scripture tells us to “redeeming the time”… to use it up… not for yourself, but for the glory of God. That’s what Jesus did. He was never hurried, but lived a life of purpose and He accomplished so much. He said, “I have come to do Your will” and He prioritized His time according to what He had been called to do.

You and I must do the same thing. It’s easy to rush through life and think we don’t have enough time for everything. But the truth is the Lord has given us the time and ability to do all that He asks us to do. It’s up to us to give ourselves to the most important things in life.

You can‘t live in yesterday and you can’t live in tomorrow… you can only live today. So make it count and maximize every moment!
