It’s March and it feels like Springtime! In addition to that, daylight savings time begins…we Spring-Forward @ 2am on Sunday, March 8th. Most of our devices and appliances reset automatically but, I personally still have a few battery-operated wall clocks that I’ll have to attend to.

Reflections:
*On “Timing”:
***Timing is everything. One can be at the right place at the right time or in the wrong place at the wrong time. The following scenarios get somewhat complicated but I hope they help somebody.
Firstly, last week I went to pay my cell phone bill on Feb. 25th that was due on March 1st & discovered that my internet bill was due on Feb. 25th as well. I went to pay one bill early and was almost late paying the other.
*Secondly, on every 4th Monday of the month a food distribution is held & I usually have my phone alarm set for this. However, on the 4th Monday of February I forgot. One of the distribution workers called to remind me just before closing time and I immediately left to pick up the food (every little bit helps).
While driving to my destination I encountered a lady that was walking in the same direction that I was traveling and I passed by because I was in a hurry. My conscience wouldn’t let me pass by so I backed up, let down my window & asked her if she wanted a ride and she didn’t hesitate to accept. We had a pleasant conversation and I learned who she was related to & I knew them.
After dropping her off at the store, I proceeded to the food pickup area. Upon arrival, I noticed that one of the workers was the relative of the young lady I had given a ride to.
Through this series of events I was reminded that my obedience to God’s instruction is what guides my every step. *To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ( Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV)
