Finally, I made it to a Five Minute Friday Twitter party – the app on my Kindle was cooperating and I almost kept up with all the posting! Several new faces. Several regulars. And, some missing in action! Summer plans were talked about and general information shared. One of our FMF faithful community members is very ill – every breath and every movement is a struggle and yet this person, who has become a friend, fights through it. At 9:43 p.m. Kate said…

I woke up at 4:30 this morning with the word on my mind.
The measure of value one puts on something or someone.
That is my definition of the word.
What is worth it to me might not be worth it to you. Life and living is very worth it to the friend I mention above. Why doesn’t he just give up and give in? Because he finds the battle to live another day worth it.
What do I consider ‘worth it?’ That is the question I ask myself this morning.
And then I thought of an old hymn we used to sing, way back when.
It will be worth it allwhen we see Jesus!Life’s trials will seem so smallwhen we see Christ.One glimpse of his dear face,all sorrow will erase.So, bravely run the racetill we see Christ.
worth it.
That is the only true measure isn’t it Susan? Your words few, your message great.
Debby, the older I get? The more that message resonates.
So true- keeping our focus on eternity is what really matters. I love the words of the hymn you shared.
Lesley, when all is said and done? This brief earth life? Is just a glimmer.
How can there be anything to add? You captured the only thing of true worth perfectly!
You hit it: TRUE WORTH. And, how I long for it.
Every minute’s worth it, Susan, because every minute’s a gift from God.
Like manna, it can’t be hoarded, and like a smile, it can’t be preserved.
Pain’s just the shadow that defines the light; the harder the days get, the brighter the Lord’s light in my life.
Worth it, that, yeah.
WHEW, is all I can say. (xo)
So very true and so well said. Only what’s done for Jesus is worth it.
Only what’s done for Christ will last…
Ah! I missed the Twitter party! Still trying to get the hang of all these tech adjustments on my end! Love your words (as always!). I will try the Twitter party next week! 🙂
I sure would love to sit down and catch up with you, Bethany.
Beautiful Susan. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Amanda, you sure know how to talk to one’s heart!!!
Susan, I love that song. We used to sing that song a lot when I was growing up. It’s beautiful.
“Everything I count “worth it” in this life I measure against eternity.” That’s a good practice to live by.
Thanks for sharing your heart. Blessings to you! xo
I knew “someone” would remember that song – I should have known it would be YOU!!!
Andrew is such an incredible example to us all. I want to live because every moment is worth it too, I’m in the 72 spot this week.
Tara, YES. LIVE IN THE RIGHT NOW.
