The Priceless Gift

Time is a huge blessing! In fact, our lives here are made up of the units of time the Creator gives us. In our fast paced world, this is all too easy to forget, as time often whizzes by too fast to reflect on.

Because of the tragedies that I personally know of, let alone the many I do not know of, I cannot say that the corona situation is "worth it"!   However, what I do feel comfortable saying is that while we're staying in our homes during this period to potentially save our own lives and that of others, we might as well open up and appreciate the precious gift of time we have been given and turn that appreciation into meaningful use.

We may be home, but there are people who in the "normal" flow of life we do not have as much time for as we wish. Now is an opportunity to spend that time with those people, whether they're members of our own households or available for us to communicate with via technology. We can also engage in online projects designed to improve the  world. The meaningful possibilities for making use of this unexpected period of "free time" are literally endless. 

The more we appreciate the value of this gift of time, the more we will want to use it correctly. We would likely treat a $10,000 gift differently than a $100 gift. So, what about a gift that's even more precious, in fact priceless, like time itself?
