Taking the time
Seems that we all rush through the world with busy schedules, taking kids to school, dance rehearsals, football or baseball practices and the like. We think of what we are going to cook for supper while on the way to work, or whatever it is that needs to get done.
We slide by the seat of our pants sometimes on deadlines….but do we really take the time?
Do we take the time to share our thoughts with our families?
Do we take the time to let a friend know how much we care for them or appreciate them?
Do we take the time to accept the compliments that are given us?
Do we take the time to see the world and it’s people or do we worry about our own existence?
Do we take the time to play with a child or read to them?
Do we take the time to teach a child how to cook or fish?
There are so many questions that could be asked of the “Do we take the time….”
Our time on earth is for a purpose – for a reason. We aren’t here to just exist or to run the gamut of life. We all have purpose driven lives. Some of us “bloomed” late. I know several people who cannot do enough for others, who cannot love enough, who cannot share enough – because they are trying to make up for the years that they were takers.
Life is for sharing – it’s for loving – it’s for taking the time to smell the roses – it’s for looking around you and being aware of those who care for you – and for those you need to care for.
Find the time – to stop – let the world go on around you – but stop – find the time for looking around and making time for the important things in life. Are you taking the time or are you using the time?
