Excerpt from Page 1. A Year in TimeIn my readings, I came across some great insight from Steven Cloud on the subject of time.
The gift of time is not ours alone. It is given equally to every person. Rich and poor, educated and ignorant, strong and week…each man, woman and child has the same twenty-four hours every day. Another important thing about time is that you cannot stop it. There is no way to slow it down, turn it off, or adjust it. Time marches on. And you cannot bring back time. Once it is gone, it is gone. Yesterday is lost forever, if yesterday is lost, tomorrow is uncertain. We may look ahead at a full year’s block of time, but we really have no guarantee that we will experience any of it. Obviously, time is one of our most precious possessions. We can waste it, we can worry over it. We can spend it on ourselves. Or, as good stewards, we can invest it in the kingdom of God. The New Year is full of time. As the seconds tick away, will you be tossing time out the window, or will you make every minute count? This edition of our newsletter is a summary of all that we were able to accomplish in 2011. The work of Venture International is made possible through the generous financial gifts of our faithful donors. As Venture International continues to reach out to the "poorest of the poor" throughout the Middle East, won’t you consider a monthly gift of $25.00...$50.00...$100.00+. Every dollar counts, every minute in prayer counts for eternity. Thanks for being part of the Venture Team that is having an eternal impact in the lives of so many. Have a blessed New Year Jeff Meyer President, Venture International Read the entire 4 page Year in Review Newsletter download.

As we look into 2012, we look at a block of time. We
see 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours,
525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds. And all is a gift
from God. We have done nothing to deserve it, earn it, or
purchase it. Like the air we breathe, time comes to us as
a part of life.
