time

Hey there!

I've been thinking a lot about time lately.

"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of." - Benjamin Franklin

"Time is of your own making; 

Its clock ticks in your head. 

The moment you stop thought

Time too stops dead."

-Angelus Silesius

"Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil." - Ephesians 5:15-16

"Time 
Like a petal in the wind 
Flows softly by 
As old lives are taken 
New ones begin 
A continual chain 
Which lasts throughout eternity 
Every life but a minute in time 
But each of equal importance" 

-Cindy Cheney 

"Time is a dream ... a destroying dream;

It lays great cities in dust, it fills the seas;

It covers the face of beauty, and tumbles walls."

-Conrad Aiken

"O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am! Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!" -Psalm 39:4-5

Time is a precious gift from God. It is my prayer that I not waste it by complaining, always being in a hurry, over-complicating things, and living for myself. Instead, I want to glorify God and proclaim the Gospel every day, in all that I do.

So long, lovely friends!
