Before It's Too Late

This week I've been discussing techniques for improving efficient use of our time. Well, since we are coming up to the holidays next week, I thought I would pass along a kind reminder.

Time is a very precious commodity that we only have so much of. We never really know when our time will be up. Do we show how much we care about the important people in our lives, or are we consumed with our daily activities and tasks? Do we show how much we care about the special people in our lives by spending time with them?

The holidays are a perfect time to remind us of the truly important things in our lives. We celebrate the birth of our Savior next Tuesday. Christmas cards and holiday greeting letters are not enough to convey the importance of the people we care most about. Make sure they understand that by spending your time with them.

No one on his deathbed ever said that he should have spent more time at the office.

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him. Ecclesiastes 3:1-4, 12-14 (NIV)
