If I could save time in a bottle,
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day till eternity passes away,
Just to spend them with you. – Jim Croce (Time in a Bottle)
How often do you think that you want to spend time with someone, but time just passes away? Things come up. You are busy. You will put the time aside tomorrow or maybe the next day. But the next day never comes. Then one day this person is gone. They have left this earth for some other place. You are sad. You wish that you had saved time and spent more of it with the person than you did. You wish you had another opportunity. However, eternity just passes away and you may never spend the time with them that you had planned to.
The problem happens because we are living in the future and not in the present. In the present, time is a gift that we have been given and we can not save even a minute. We all need to start living in the present. So who can you spend more time with this week that you have been putting off seeing? Who would cause you the most regrets if they died this day and you had not spent another minute with them? What is more important right now then spending a moment of eternity with them?
