The great American writer, Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke on the
elusiveness of time. He wrote:
“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 can not 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.
