How Important is Your Time?

The marching of time seems more evident the older we get! One thing for sure..it seems to march a whole lot faster than it used to! Some days go faster than others, but as a general rule the old adage..time flies, sees to ring truer now than when we were much younger! They say that youth is wasted on the young...and I can see the truth in that old saying too. When we are young we don't think about the value of time or how we use the time given us...we just coast along and think that our youth is endless and then the weeks turn into months, the months become a year........decades go by, few get to see a century..but in reality our time here is so very short. Can we afford to waste all the time we waste? If our years were given to us in dollars and cents...how would we spend them? We've all heard someone say that time is money...well, what if it was? Say for instance..we were given 100,000 dollars worth of time and that the money equaled how much time we were given to live and when it was gone..so were we...would we not divide that money in such small increments and make it last as long as we possibly could? We cannot buy time, we all know that...but if we could...don't you think that all our money would be invested in more time and less everything else! How precious is time to you? We could all probably say..time means everything..but how do we spend that precious time?
I can only speak for myself when I say that I have wasted more of my time than I care to admit to! When I think of some of the ways that I have spent my time...foolishly...meaninglessly, thoughtlessly..it makes me a bit sad and regretful.
None of us know for sure how much time we will have to do all the things we want to do and to say what we want to say..right some of the wrongs we've committed...go places we want to go..see things we want to see..so many things to do..so little time...maybe, maybe not! Take advantage of every hour, every day you have and make a difference in your life...treat your time like it is a precious resource, like it's worth a million dollars! God only knows how much time you have and He wants you to use it wisely! He gives it and only He can take it away........be thankful for every day because it is a gift.
