TIME IS THE GIFT THAT IS GIVEN SAME TO ALL

What is the gift that is given same to all was the question I have put forth in the previous post. Thanks to those who responded.     

TIME is the gift that is given in the same measure to all.

As I have mentioned in the previous post, God the creator has endowed us with various talents, opportunities and experiences and they differ from person to person; but all of us are gifted in equal measure – whether rich or poor, educated or illiterate, high or low in position, healthy or unhealthy etc.

Making wise and prudent use of time is what is expected from us. As St. Paul advises in the epistle to Ephesians in chapter 5 vs. 15, 16: “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time …”

Someone has offered the following guidelines for us to check whether we are using our time wisely.

          Take time to pray – it’s the source of power

Take time to read – it’s a fountain of wisdom

Take time to play – it’s a secret of youth

Take time to be friendly – it’s a path of happiness

Take time to laugh – it’s the music of the soul

Take time to dream – it’s a road to greater vision

Take time to love – it’s Godlike
