Time Is But A Moment

the point or period when something occurs

a moment, hour, day, or year as indicated by a clock or calendar

a person's experience during a specified period or on a particular occasion

In the Book of Ecclesiastes


1TO EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven: 2A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted.

The reason why I am reflecting on this right now is because a very dear friend to me lost her daughter in a car accident. And this was her only child. I am a parent and there are no words for me to express what she must be going through. I knew what I would say when I saw her. I just know that time is just what it is. We do not have very long here on this earth.

Some of us longer than others but in all reality every precious moment we must do everything we possibly can to make our life’s have meaning. And I do not mean like in the celebrity status. I mean that whatever we do in life we need to do it good. I know that I never leave my home without saying, “I love you,” and give them a hug. I remember when another good friend of mines lost her husband and she was so glad that she had spoke to him and kissed him that day. Because that would be her last time seeing him alive.

We need to take time for the little things in our life. We have to spend more time with our families and friends. We need to make and take time from our busy jobs schedules to do whatever comes to mind. It might be silly as staying in your pajamas all day. Are just eating peanut butter out of the jar using your fingers. We need to do crazy stuff that makes us laugh so hard our belly’s ache. You know laughter is like medicine it is good for you.

We always are telling ourselves that as soon as I get this done. I go and take that trip I was planning. Are I will retire as soon as I get this much money in the bank? And then what happens we die before we have accomplished any of those things that we thought were so important. Do not get me wrong on this. I know we all need to have jobs, money, security, and vacations. We just need to ask ourselves this. At what cost?

I know for me I always thought if I had the right husband, house, job, money, kids
that life would be allright. I wasted so much time and made so many mistakes along the way. I used up a lot of time that could have be better spent. What I have learned is that life is about choices. Some of them are the right ones and others are not. I now know that I need to make time for the people that are special in my life. And I need to do what is my calling here on this earth. God gave all of us talents. And we have to find out. How to best use the ones he gave us.

There are times when I feel like I am still trying to find out what my talents are. I need to make that a priority and find out really soon. Just in case God calls me home. I sure would like to use my time here the way God wrote my book. I may need some help in this area defining what are my talents and how best to use them. That is why we have friends that God places in our life. Some of them are there for a season and others are there to get you through a rough spot in your life. And then they are gone and you wonder why. Then you start thinking about what God say’s when he places angels in your life. We are all here for a season and a time.

Here is just a short poem I wrote:

My time on this earth let it be making people laugh
My time on this earth let me wipe tears from little one eyes
My time on this earth feeding the hungry
My time on this earth serve as God’s servant
My time on these earth do-good deeds for strangers
My time on this earth to spread as much love as possible
My time on this earth take care of my loved ones
My time on this earth have compassion on my enemies
