***********************************************************
As much as I sometimes complain or gripe about certain days…. time truly is a gift, no matter what kind of day I happen to be having.
Time is a most valuable gift, and sadly, most of the time I don’t appreciate it like I should.
Once minutes are gone, they cannot be recaptured….and yet, I am so cavalier in the way I spend
my precious moments.
On days when I am contemplative, I think back to the day my late husband uttered these words,
“Dawn, the vacuuming can wait. Just sit with me for awhile. I’m dying and I won’t be here forever.”
A profound moment in time,
that is forever etched in my mind.
Two weeks later, my husband was gone.
If I could say anything at all with my writing…..it would be this:
value the time you have. Enjoy it more. Savor it more. Use it more. Appreciate it more, because once it is gone, it is gone.
God gave us a certain amount of time in this life.
He expects us to be good stewards of the gift He has given us.
