TIME - Advent Day 4

TIME

Time; we constantly hear how there is not enough time to get everything done.  Often, this can be an excuse to avoid an unpleasant task.  Other times we just decide to procrastinate.  Us creative types are often guilty of procrastination; we are always looking for the right mood or for the right muse to strike.   Thus I decided that in spirit of procrastination; it would perfect to write about time; the day after it was the word for the day.  Sometimes too we just want to stop time.  This picture is of my daughter and my niece; I know that they cannot stay little but somehow I just want to stop time and go back to those precious moments like the one in the picture.  In this picture; Jane is around 12 and Alexis around 2.  So much time time has passed; I did not even remember how old they are. Yet somehow their age is not important but the relationship that this picture represents.  This is what Jesus desires from us; He wants a relationship with us.   Jesus calls us to be watchful and alert; not to waste time nor to be tied to earthly time but to simply participate in His timing.  We are to acknowledge and treasure in our hearts all of the gifts we have been given believing that the greatest gift of all is yet to come; Emmanuel; God with us.
