Have you ever felt like there just
aren’t enough hours in a day? From
the minute we wake up in the
morning to the second our minds
transition into sleep mode, the world
screams for our attention from every
angle.
No matter how hard we try to catch
up, there is always something new to
add to the list and no matter how
hard we try to manage our time, it
still seems to slip away.
The minutes turn to hours. Hours
turn to days. And days turn to years.
Then, all we have left are the I-wish-Iwould haves and the someday-I-wills.
I wish I would have made more time
for God, friends, family, myself. I wish
I would have worried less and lived
more.
Someday, I’ll forgive her. Someday,
I’ll try something new. Someday, I’ll
take time to enjoy the beauty of
today … but today, I just don’t have
the time.
Today I have to pay the bills, work
just a few more hours, take the kids
to practice, go to a meeting, wash
the clothes, clean the house, and
watch my shows.
Today I have to make dinner, finish
that report, workout, get the car
fixed, take out the ga rbage, chat with
the neighbor & plan for tomorrow,
but then tomorrow becomes today
and we are back at square one …
Pay the bills, work just a few more
hours, take the kids to practice, go to
a meeting, wash the clothes, clean
the house, watch my shows, make
dinner, finish that report, workout,
get the car fixed, take out the
garbage, chat with the neighbour &
plan for tomorrow.
So today, as you knock stuff off of
your list again, let me encourage you
to slow down.
Make time for God, friends, family,
yourself. Worry less and live more.
Forgive the people around you, try
something new, and most
importantly take time to enjoy the
beauty of this moment.
