It is one of the finest secrets of life

A writer tells of an English nobleman, who, when he went over his estate, always carried acorns in his pocket; and when he found a bare spot, he would plant one of them. By and by there would be a tree growing on the place, adorning it.

Just so we may plant on every empty space of time , a seed of something beautiful, which will not only be an adornment — but will prove a blessing to others. It is one of the finest secrets of life to know how to redeem the minutes from waste, and to make them bearers of blessing, of cheer, of encouragement, of good, to others.

"Making the best use of the time, because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:16
