Time

Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and atime to every purpose under the heaven:


Ecc 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;


Ecc 3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;


Ecc 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;


Ecc 3:5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;


Ecc 3:6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;


Ecc 3:7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;


Ecc 3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.






This weekend is the time to spring forward and as always it made me start thinking of my own mortality. There is a time for all things. Time.

What have we done with ours?
Yet another spring is upon us, how many time have we sprung forward and fallen back?
What have we done in the time we have wasted, the time we have left behind in the annals of history?

What is the time in our lives? Daybreak, noon or midnight? What time are we at?
Incrementally we can break things down by any concept of time, But the question no matter the time unit is always the same. What have you done with the time you have been given?

Did you bury your talents or use them?
Did you let your light so shine before men?
Did you salt the earth?

Time. The great equalizer.
We look forward we look back. We hope for the best tomorrow, we look back with regret or longing, we dream big yet what have we done in our present day? In the time we had. Not what might be, but what is.

Not in what was, we can not change what has happened. Whether
my choice or circumstances dictated by someone else's decision.

Time. The one finite thing in our lives we can not measure or know.
Tomorrow is not a given. We have no idea how or when we will go. But go we will, when we run out of time.

What have we done with the precious time we had?
