After we've had them in class for three years, the hardest part is watching them graduate out of our class! But it's fun to stay in touch and see them continue to grow! Have a great day!<br /><br />Heather - I like your statement that when you're generous with your time, it always comes back to you in another way. Isn't that just like our loving Heavenly Father?! Time is a valuable commodity. I'm glad we can invest it in others and gain eternal dividends! God bless!:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475395753533265087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691883326513386349.post-50364191522771762292009-12-07T17:55:45.550-08:002009-12-07T17:55:45.550-08:00Kristen - It's such a privilege to include oth...Kristen - It's such a privilege to include others in our family! Over the past few months, I've actually come to view you and others who frequently leave comments, as my 'writing family!' You gals are the greatest! God bless!<br /><br />Karen - It is so easy to invest our time in things that ultimately don't matter. I have to say, it was with humility that I realized that our Sunday School student was right - time spent developing relationships is the most important!Have a blessed day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475395753533265087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691883326513386349.post-38764336691482361032009-12-07T17:49:30.909-08:002009-12-07T17:49:30.909-08:00Diana - Welcome!

Have a great day!<br /><br />Ellie - Keeping our eyes open to the opportunities that He places before us is so important! You're absolutely right that we never know how we may impact someone's life. What a worthwhile way to 'invest' our time!! God bless you! :)<br /><br />Tamika - Thank you so much for the beautiful compliment! I'm humbled to think that God could use what He's teaching me, to encourage others and point them to Him.

We have to keep an eye open for those opportunities to share God with others. It's all about taking the time to make a difference in someone's life.
