Author of Life and Death,
Some days seem to merge into the next, one day indistinguishable from the other, moments slipping through our fingers. Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke of the urgency to appreciate time. He cautioned us that “the days come and go like muffled and veiled figures sent from a distant friendly party, but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.”
Each day we wake up is a gift, carrying with it both mysteries and blessings. The gift of time cannot be put on a shelf to be used at a later date. If used unwisely, it is lost forever. But when it is well spent, it can be savored for years to come.
May we live each day to its fullest capacity, creating for our future treasured memories of time well spent. May this be God’s will.--AMEN.
