Investment Time!

We are all limited to whatever time is available. I'm not referring to our life-span but to the amount of time we have remaining for all our daily activities. We have "work-time", "over-time", "family-time", "bed-time" and even "quality-time" to name but a few. These periods may be commitments that we may have entered into and are therefore obliged to keep.

We can sell or give our precious time according to our liking or needs; others can do the same for us, e.g in gainful employment, our employer buys our labour and time. What we can't do is create more hours in a day. We certainly know this fact! But we don't act as if the day consisted of a finite amount of time! We simply fill up our time-table as if it were a bag, until one day, it simply explodes!

Now, here's a concept that mostly everyone wishes to elude: "making-time". Make time for yourself, your partner, your family and friends, and even leisure. A lot of time may be required to keep our families, moreso if you're the breadwinner. They also need our personal time as well. We need to "spend-time" with close individuals who not only need us but love us.

How much time do I offer to God? Do I spend some time in quiet prayer and meditation? Can I just stop what I'm doing for a few moments and think about God or His Word? Or am I one of those who says: "Sorry can't stop. I'm in a rush. I haven't got time today!"

Yarm's Message: Spending-time with family, friends and those in need is the best investment.
