Time is a gift, is it not?
Every year … every month … every week … every day … every hour … every minute … every second … is a priceless and premium gift.
Once time is spent, you can never get it back. It is gone.
Oh … you might try to hold the treasure of time in your memories … but even that is fleeting.
I try to remember what my dad’s voice sounded like … but it is fading away with time.
I try to remember what it felt like to have little arms wrapped around my neck … but the memories are no longer tangible.
I try to remember the sweet feeling of having all of my children under one roof … but it almost seems imaginary now.
Time.
I think that during these days of quarantine we have been given the gift of time.
Time to pray.
Time to sing.
Time to organize.
Time to reach out in creative ways.
Time to give.
Time to refocus.
Time to stir up the dreams of one’s youth.
Time to encourage.
Don’t waste this time on fear … on TV … on overeating … on worry …or on distancing yourself emotionally.
Stay connected with the life you have been given.
You’ll never have this time again.
What are you going to do with this glorious month of April 2020?
