“DON’T COUNT THE DAYS, MAKE THE DAYS COUNT.”
We can make our days count.
Entering a bus not long ago, I noticed one other passenger with quite a bit of luggage.
The passenger was from Germany. The driver of the bus told him, that I was also from Germany, but instead of using the German language, we continued to converse in english until we arrived in Mangonui at the East Coast. We talked about a number of things, but I told my fellow traveller also that I belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. The driver of the bus knows that I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In Mangonui I noticed the vehicle of the man who is looking after the conveniences there and expected to see my friend from Kaikohe again. But someone else was doing the job now and I was told that my friend had had an accident. I mentioned that there is so much bad news everywhere and that I was glad to have the Bible with the Good News. But that was not a long conversation of course as the man had to continue his work.
Another conversation in one of the gift shops in Mangonui was even shorter. Somehow I got talking to the person who was looking after the shop and somehow we got talking about spiritual things. But when we got really into it the phone rang and that was the end of course.
“Don’t count the days, make the days count.” Make the days count for ETERNITY.
BOOKS!
Visiting our local library today, I discovered a book on the front desk with the following writing on the cover:
“RECOMMEND A BOOK THAT YOU LOVE! DID YOU JUST FINISH A BOOK THAT IS AWESOME? WRITE A QUICK REVIEW IN HERE TO SHARE WITH OTHERS!”
There is one book I love more than any other books and that is “The Book of Books.” “The Book of Books” is an awesome book and I have almost finished reading it again.
AND HERE IS A QUICK REVIEW OF “THE BOOK OF BOOKS”:
The Holy Spirit is the author of “The Book of Books,” the Bible. The Bible tells us all about God, is the truth and guides us to everlasting life. The Bible is a library of 66 books, there are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. The New Testament was written in Greek and most of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the main theme of the Bible and He is also the key to understanding the Word of God.
For most people the Bible is like any other book on the book shelf, but for born again people it becomes alive. The Bible is alive for me.
By the end of this year I hope to have finished reading the awesome book I love, the Bible, again, as I have done many times before. I don’t need to borrow it from the public library, as I have many different translations in my own library.
