"I have only just a minute,
Only sixty seconds in it,
Forced upon me - can't refuse it,
Didn't seek it - didn't choose it,
But it's up to me to use it.
I must suffer if I lost it,
Give account if I abuse it.
Just a tiny little minute -
But eternity is in it."
--Christine Warren--
"When as a child, I laughed and wept. Time crept.
When as a youth, I dreamed and talked. Time walked.
When I became a full grown man. Time ran.
When older still I daily grew. Time flew.
Soon I shall find in traveling on. Time gone.
--Anonymous--
"Maybe we ought to make our own time-and-motion studies in our
personal pursuits, and note the difference between going forward and merely going through motions, and not so much needlessly do the same things over and over again, such as sometimes shifting and shuffling the same pile of papers and putting them in different places, without really clearing up the clutter.
Sometimes doing essentially the same with problems--worrying and reworrying about the same ones without doing what can or should be done; sometimes wrestling with the same habits, the same appetites, the same troubled conscience, without really repenting or improving or really learning our lessons...
Oh, may we have the wisdom to use the little time, the precious life, to do what should be done, to learn what should be learned, to live as we should live: repenting, improving, performing, with a blessed sense of peace and purpose--not just rearranging our problems--not just rushing around."

A Prayer For Today
"This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it--or use it for good, but what I do today is important, because I am exchanging a day of my life for it!
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain, and not loss; good, and not evil; success, and not failure; in order that I shall not regret the price that I have paid for it."
--Dr. Heartsill Wilson--
Take Time
Take time to work with love,
It is the assurance of success.
Take time for joyous play,
It is the secret of renewing youth.
Take time to think creatively,
It is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to love your fellow men,
It is the gateway to heaven.
Take time each day for silence,
It is the storehouse of God.
Take time to worship God,
It is the highway of peace.
