WORKOUT WEDNESDAY A Midweek Spiritual Workout with Fr. Marino H. Msigala, O.F.M. Capuchin DON'T JUST COUNT THE MINUTES; MAKE EVERY MINUTE COUNT Every minute, someone leaves this world behind. We are all in “the line” without knowing it. We never know how many people are before us. We cannot move to the back of the line. We cannot step out of the line. We cannot avoid the line. So, while you wait in line – Don’t just count the minutes. Make the minutes count. Make memories. Make time. Make your gifts known. Make a nobody feel like a somebody. Make your voice heard. Make the change. Make peace. Make sure to tell your people they are loved. Make sure to have no regrets. Make priorities. Make small things big. Make someone smile. Make up.  Make a difference. Make sure you are ready. On this  SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY , make every minute count.
