Lateness seems to be the character trait of many. Excuses vary but usually have a commonality...running out of time.
Well tomorrow all of us get an extra hour in our daylight. Some will sleep through it, some will overwork in it and some will miss the opportunity completely because they forgot about the Day Light Savings time "fall back" instructions.
"Time is the Measure of Life Itself" was the intro Donna Taylor wrote in her monthly newsletter. I paraphrased some valuable "time-life" snippets I gleaned from her:
- Time is God's gift and should not be wasted. (Ephesians 5:16)
- Busyness that robs us of time....can rob us of important things left undone because we ran out of time.
- Twice a year when we adjust our clocks and watches for DST, maybe we should check our inner clock and see if it needs adjusting.
Evaluating our time usage my keep us from being late for important events. I dare not run in to church in the morning saying, "I'm late, I'm late......" because it's important not to give up meeting together...so we can encourage one another. (Hebrews 10:25)
**Fun pictures that just appeared in my email---so
"timely" and adorable that I just had to share them!
