TIME

Monday, March 12, 2007

The following statement is thought-provoking: “If you are 35, you have 500 days to live.” Immediately you think, “That’s not right.” But when you subtract the time spent sleeping, working, tending to personal matters, hygiene, odd chores, medical matters, eating, traveling, and miscellaneous time-stealers, in the next thirty-six years you will have roughly the equivalent of only five hundred days left to spend as you wish. Well, of course, you wanted to eat, sleep, travel, etc. but when you think strictly of the things you want to do but don’t have to do—there is not a lot of time left for that.

All of us are given exactly the same amount of time each day. In God’s eyes, none of us are more important than another.

I’m going outside now and clean up the yard. I really do want to do it. I really do!
