Time and People©
When
I think about Time I think about clocks, the minutes ticking by and
a train speeding towards the end of the track. Never the less I
continue each day more or less the same as the day before.
You see what is important is not the time used, the time left
or even time. What is important is our relationships with each
other. If we spent all our time worrying about time there would be
no time left for anything else, and that would be a shame because
there are so many things in this world that do not revolve around
time.
The song says there is a time to live and a time to die, a time to
laugh and a time to cry etc. They are stuck on this notion of time
rules everything. Unfortunately for them, time does not rule
everything God does. The creator took his time to build the world as
we knew it. I’m sure he didn’t have a clock that he kept glancing at
and thinking to himself…I’m behind schedule. He knew that there will
always be time and rushing something as important as creating the
world just couldn’t be.
So, too it is with relationships, the important thing is not to rush
them because like concrete it takes time to solidify, and become
stronger. Joe Croce sang about time in a bottle. He realized that
you can’t bottle time you just have to use it as it comes along.
Time magazine reflects on the present the past, and the future. They
too know that time doesn’t stand still, but they also know that
without people in the equation time would have little relevance.
People refer to time as growing old together, they reflect on the
number of years married, the time of their lives, how quickly time
flies. I suggest these are all important but the one constant is
people not time.
People can stop and talk and listen and hurt and cry and laugh and
love. Time just keeps on moving without emotion. So, I ask you who
cares about time.
Do what you need to do, live the life God gave you and forget about
time. Time will take care of itself. In the final accounting, God
won’t ask you what time it was, or what did you do with your time?
He will ask you, who did you love, did I have an impact on your
life, do you believe in me, did you follow my blueprint called the
bible? So, who cares
about time, do what you have to do and forget about the rest of it.
