The Gift of Time
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007By Bonnie Moss Time is eternal.It is in abundant supply, yet, there never seem to beenough of it. Time is precious, but oh, how we squandertime on our hands. Time flies, we ask ourselves, where does time go? The clock ticks away and so does ourheartbeats as we forge ahead to beat the clock.For some, the 24 hours of a day are not enough toallow them to meet all those commitments that demand time, precious time. People to meet, placesto go, things to do and not enough time to do it all! Thus the word quality time has evolved. Do wereally understand what it means? We share a few minutes or hours with those we love, we call it quality time. Is this supposed to fill in the broad gaps of time away from them? Does this ensure freedom from guilt as we merrily or hurriedlygo on from project to project? Short and sweet takes on a new meaning- at timesthis is all there is to share. Distance is great impediment to keep families in close touch. Celebrations come andgo, some family members or close friends will always be absent. They dont have the time to come and share in a celebration. But, technology offers a variety of options to keep in touch with anyone, especially those we profess to love. Many of us have forgotten the wonder of the written word- a letter or a card in the mail can bring a smile, tender memories or feelings of joy for the recipient. But who writes letters these days? How much timedoes it take to call someone just to keep in touch? Time is a gift many of us forget its value. In themidst of a busy life, it is difficult to find the timeto give to anyone but the very immediatefamily. Even with this limited circle, time can bein very short supply. Stop a moment and reflect on this. Where and how dowe spend our time that justifies the lack of it toshare with those we love or care for? The world willnot fall apart if you take some time to be withthose you love. Your business, your careeryour hobby, your social life and other commitmentsthat demand part of your time certainly canttake priority over your loved ones.Not all the time. Time can be budgeted- for those who are too busy to stop and think of where their day goes.How one spends time can be analyzed in orderto make more time for the important issues in life.Remember, years will pass by, lifestyles can change and health becomes a concern at one point.It can happen to us! At a certain stages in life, material gifts do not matter. A child would rather have the presence ofMom and Dad at school functions or other activities.It gives that re-assurance that they really care.These memories will be cherished for a long time.An expensive gift clearly. spells guilt and can not fill in a void nor smooth out feelings ofresentment and disappointment. As we get older, presents do not have the lusterthese once had. Tastes and circumstances change.Time becomes a very dominant part of life atthis stage. Precious time shared leaves a feeling of being loved, a thoughtful gesture that warms a lonely heart. A gift of time can be one of the most preciousgifts anyone can share; time that can brightenup ones life even just for a brief moment. Itleaves memories that will last till the next time. A gift of precious time can mean a lot. Bonnie Moss writes to inspire and to motivateher readers to explore the depths of their heart andsoul and make a difference in this world.
