                                     Race Against Time
There is always a race against time. Your ether trying to get somewhere or your thinking of the events that you have to pack into a 13 hour day. 
     My question is why are we racing time? Time is not something to be afraid of, more along the lines of exciting. We get to live as long as God wants us to and in that time we get to fulfill all the things that He has planed. I see so many people rushing from one place to another just to get a few things picked up and dropped off. 
     For instance Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, not worrying about what time it is or where you have to be. But do you see soccer mom, baseball dads, working parents and teens resting and not looking at their watch very 10 minutes? No. You see them running from one game to another or trying to keep their boss happy and hoping their watch is 10 minutes slow. Shouldn't we all remember what rest is and forget about our watches, not only resting and forgetting about that stupid little thing on our wrest ticking the time away, but also family time. Yeah your kids are going to have things that they are going to want to do and that's great, but shouldn't you still get together at the dinner table and talk. Not "Hi how you are doing" kind of talk, that's what you say to someone you pass by while your rushing through your day and you don't have time to talk. But sit down and listen to one another.
Time isn't something we should run from or race with. Time is something to be cherished and remembered, not lost and forgotten.



There might not be enough time for you to get done what you want to get done, but there is plenty of time for you to get done what God wants you to get done.
