"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; making the most of every opportunity. (Colossians 4:5)
Five year old Bobby was adjusting to the life of a kindergartner. In the middle of the afternoon the teacher announced to the boys and girls that it was snack time. "Who brought the snack today?" she asked. Silence followed. The teacher checked her list and found Bobby's name. "Bobby, did you bring the snack?"
"Yes Ma'am." he replied.
"Good, Bobby. What did you bring?"
"Popsicles!"
The teacher asked, "And where are your popsicles, Bobby?" The smiling youngster replied, "In my backpack in the closet!"
Time has an unfortunate habit of melting away. The brevity of this life demands that we treat every day as a gift from God, and every moment as an opportunity to serve Him. The work place is one of the best arenas for modeling Christ-likeness. Paul said, "be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity." Be a wise person today. Pray that God would cause you to be frugal with your time today.

The husband was not convinced. "Don't you have a riding one?" he asked
