“Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can't make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.” Rick Warren
Since the funeral I can’t stop thinking about that little dash between the dates of our birth to the last day of our life. It stands for so much as it clearly depicts how we lived our life. How am I
going to spend my life? I realize that every day, every heart beat is a gift from God. I want to invest my time in the life others, especially my family. But all too often I find myself wasting time or spending too much on things that don’t really matter.
Overall I had a good day, but I need to make more of an effort to stay focused on the tasks at hand. I feel a little discouraged that I didn’t accomplish all that I planned to this week. I need to find the proper balance between CR, homeschooling, and home life. I have 24 hours per day that I must use wisely.
I see my daughter’s growing up before my eyes. I wish that I could slow it down, but I can’t. What I can do is make of the most of each day. As I look into their innocent eyes I realize I don’t need to push them so much. . Even in our studies, we need to find more of a balance between learning and enjoying our time together. Luckily I have the privilege to do both as I’m homeschooling them. I love seeing their faces light up as we learn new things. I love being guiding them through difficult areas and celebrating with them as they master those concepts. As we move forward I need to remember how I spend my time with them will impact how they relate to others. So today I choose slow down and make relationships a priority. Making memories that last – Priceless!
