This most definitely is posted for my enjoyment more than anyone who may visit here. But alas, that’s the way it should be, Blogs are all about sharing what we care most about!
A man was riding his Harley along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head…
In a booming voice, the Lord said, “Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.”
The biker pulled over and said, “Please build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.”
The Lord said, “Your request is materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind.”
The biker thought about it for a long time… Finally, he said, “Lord, I wish that I, and all men, could understand our wives better; I want to know how she feels inside, what she’s thinking, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing’s wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy.”
The Lord replied, “You want two lanes or four on that bridge?”
I am currently reading the “The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren. Today’s lesson really hit home as it connected “what matters most” with good time management. Time is our most precious gift as we only have a set amount of it and none can be recovered.
Because your life is ALL ABOUT time and how you spend it, this is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time. In order to do this you must schedule what’s important and create a STOP DOING list in order to focus on the things that matter most.
The answer therefore to what matters most is “time that you give loved ones.” Every moment we give our children, our family or our friends and especially the time we take to really listen to our wives are the greatest gifts of all.
These sentences and reflections really gave me a lift today and renewed perspective:
The best use of time is love.
The best expression of love is time.
The best time to love is now.
Why now? Because you don’t know how long you will have this opportunity. Circumstances change. People die. Children grow up. You have no guarantee of tomorrow. If you want to express love, you better do it now.
To anyone who sees or reads this post… INVEST TIME NOW with all your loved ones
