Time is Now.....

Time.....
   
Time is one of our most valuable resources of life.  It is the moment we have right now...or what is in the future.  And only He knows how long our future will be....today, tomorrow, next week...years?   

The saying is "like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives."  This is truth.  The mystery of time cannot be figured out.  But, we can be sure, we all have a choice of how to use our time.  

With all the electronics, computers and smart phones, time seems to fly by.  We have all the 'fast', 'high speed' resources, but we have less time.  What is wrong with us?  

I remember as a little girl, the long Sunday afternoons when we either went to visit family or friends, or some folks 'dropped' by our house.  The sitting on the porch and making homemade ice cream or enjoying watermelon was good, but the time spent together was wonderful.  Time seemed to be slower and the joy of a being together was well spent. 

I long for those times again.  When people visit each other without checking their computers or phones.  I must admit, I am guilty as well!  But, whose time in life are we missing out on?  Ours? Theirs?

Paul wrote to the Ephesians " see that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Therefore do not be unwise, but rather understand what the will of the Lord is. "  (Ehp 5:15-17)

Let us be mindful of the devil and how he uses technology to tempt us.  How he steals time from us. How he takes those precious moments with loved ones from us.  

Let us celebrate time by sharing the love for one another!  Live, laugh and enjoy each one of those moments that is given to you.  Be wise....take the time God has given you to listen to the children, listen to the elderly, hold hands, enjoy the blessing of friends and family He has given you.   

I hope you think about this blog, put down the tech machine, and in the coming days and weeks you enjoy your family, friends, and neighbors.  Visit, let them know you care.  Tell someone you love them, give a hug, smile, life is good......and time is short...  

Love you all and feel free to share my blog...let you friends online know you care..
