Where Has The Time Gone

Where Has The Time Gone

Do you remember as a child waiting for summer to hurry up and get here so you could do all the things that were FUN swimming in the lake or pool if you were one of the fortunate ones to have such a luxury, hiking through the trails along the creek side, building forts and playing games with your friends and sister or brother if you had one. Going for nice long bicycle rides on small roads that are NOW highways and getting an ice cream cones after church on Sunday mornings because you sat still during Service. Oh how I miss those days. 

Now days everybody is moving so fast to get somewhere fast and sometimes they don't even know where the destination is. Have you noticed how many people are getting sicker and sicker and they are not realizing that it is because of the fast paced life that they are leading. 

FOLKS we need to slow down. Take time to smell the Roses or flowers along the way. Don't get caught up in the trap of moving faster and getting nowhere faster. Make plans to enjoy your time together as families and friends. Life is to short and it is getting shorter and shorter by the minute. 

When someone asks you to join them for lunch or even a cup of tea, don't make excuses not to go, GO.  I had lunch yesterday with a very special friend and we realized that it has been a very long time since we had done that. There was so much to catch up on and so much to reminisce about  that it was just so special to just get together and do just that. But as per usual TIME came and grabbed us both and sent us on our separate ways. I hope it is not such a long TIME before we get together again seeing as we both live so close to each other.  Don't let the busyness of your life rob you of special moments like this. 

Savor those times and tuck them away for that moment when you need a smile and a memory of Good Things.
