Every Moment Matters
June 20, 2018
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:21
When I met Ada, she had outlived her entire group of friends and family and was living in a nursing home. Its the hardest part of getting old, she told me, watching everyone else move on and leave you behind. One day I asked Ada what kept her interest and how she spent her time. She answered me with a Scripture passage from the apostle Paul (Philippians 1:21): For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Then she said, While Im still around, I have work to do. On my good days, I get to talk to the people here about Jesus; on the hard days, I can still pray.
Significantly, Paul wrote Philippians while in prison. And he acknowledged a reality many Christians understand as they face their mortality: Even though heaven seems so inviting, the time we have left on Earth matters to God.
Like Paul, Ada recognized that every breath she took was an opportunity to serve and glorify God. So Ada spent her days loving others and introducing them to her Savior.
Even in our darkest moments, Christians can hold on to the promise of permanent joy in the company of God. And while we live, we enjoy relationship with Him. He fills all our moments with significance.
When God comes to call us home, may He find us serving Him.
How can you use the days God has given you to love and serve others?

"Your Summer Vacation Should Be a Road Trip" |
You want to get out there and see what the world is all about. You love spontaneous travel. You think it's good to get outside your comfort zone and change your perspective.
You have a good sense of irony. Sometimes you just have to laugh at life. A quirky, unpredictable road trip is just your speed. Who knows where you'll end up? |
WOO-HOO, son and I just came back from a road trip, lotsa fun!

You are laid back and always ready to go with the flow. Plans change, so why even make them? You are a ton of fun, and you love to bond with others. You make instant friends with people.
You are very liable and charming. People simply enjoy being around you. A casual beach vacation is perfect for you. You're always down for a little more rest and relaxation. |

"Your Summer Vacation Should Be Camping" |
You are a very "do it yourself" type of person. You like to dig in and get things done. You like teamwork. You find there is something powerful about team spirit.
You are extremely energetic, but you also like to kick back when it's time to rest. You stay balanced. A simple camping trip is the perfect vacation for you. You aren't looking to spend a lot of money - you're just happy to get away from it all. |

Hi Luv!
It says my perfect vacation is the beach. And that is exactly where Mrs. henkster and I like to spend our vacations. Oh sure, we like some shopping and going to the touristy places too. But, as one of my favorite songs says:
The beach is a place where a man can feel he’s he only soul in the world that’s real.

Your Summer Vacation Should Be in Italy |
You love the finer things in life, and you don't mind treating yourself from time to time. You like to live in new places and travel the world. You can't imagine settling down in one place.
You enjoy being admired and pampered, but you don't always reciprocate. You are happy to just receive. A five star, no expense spared vacation in Europe is just your style!Mama mia! This works for ME!! Been there and loved it!

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning
Thank you, Luvy, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.
Good morning Canteeners. How is everyone?
Whew! Looks like most of the country is under a heatwave.
We had a storm roll through last night
and dump some needed rain on the area.
Brought the temps down some, too.

This is not surprising.
Well, my gym buddy moved, so I will have to find another motivation
to get dressed and out the door before brain is awake.
I swear, it's like I do not have enough time
during the day to get things done.
That's one of the reasons I've had to give up
some of my Canteen time.
Hubby and I spent two days helping son and family move and set up at new place.
We were so exhausted we hid out on Father's Day.
I promised my parents that I'd come down this week, which will be today.
So, this is a post-n-run morning, too.
The Canteen is
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
