Happy New Year! / It's about time....

There never seems to be enough of it! You can try to buy some -- or carve some out -- or to find some -- or to save some...but all to no avail. It's valuable! Precious! Priceless - b/c no amount of money will ever purchase one split second - yet the only thing one can really do w/ time - is spend it. Ecclesiastes 3 (NIV) says There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: - yet too often I find myself saying "I don't have time!".....

This first day of 2009, I'm reminded of the value of time...& praying for wisdom in how to spend mine.

- and also reminded of this poem below:

Poem About Value

To realize the value of ten years :
Ask a newly divorced couple .
To realize the value of four years :
Ask a graduate .
To realize the value of one year :
Ask a student who has failed a final exam .
To realize the value of nine months :
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn .
To realize the value of one month :
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby .
To realize the value of one week :
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper .
To realize the value of one hour :
Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet .
To realize the value of one minute :
Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane .
To realize the value of one second :
Ask a person who has survived an accident .
To realize the value of one millisecond :
Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics .
Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have .
