Where
does the time go? I hear people say. Where does the time go? It seems like only
yesterday when I last saw you. I hear people say I’m busy and I haven’t the
time. I’m keeping you I hear people say.
How
often do we pause and reflect on our life’s journey. Possibly some more than
others. When life and it’s burdens are weighing heavy on your shoulders, take
time to pause and reflect, for it is by doing this that memories spring into
our minds, we remember family members who are no longer with us in the physical
world. When we remember our loved ones, remember them with love and affection,
never dwell on sadness and regret, for these only serve to make us unhappy.
Let’s remember those times we spent with them, remember those funny stories,
remember when we were younger how we were always together and how we all had
time for each other. For when we were together in happy times, we never would
say “I’m busy and I haven’t got the time to spare”. We would always say things
such as “Of course I can come over and see you”. We would say things such as
“Let me know when there is a convenient time for you”.
Take
time to think that time is not your enemy, time is your friend. Sometimes life
and it’s journey has a smooth path, sometimes the road gets a little bumpy and
life can take us on a detour.
Time is precious,
life is precious, family and friends are precious. Remember to spare some of
your time with the lonely and the under privileged. Each of us has a story to
tell. A time to pause and reflect is in each of us. Take time each day to
breathe in life and hope and share your gift with those who come into your
life.
