31. Time

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1 John 3:2-3.

Each of us has a capacity for God and an ability to relate to him in a personal way. When we do, he brings to us pardon for the past, peace for the present and promise for the future. > Ralph S. Bell.

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. > Robert Brault.

Lost, yesterdat, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever. > Horace Mann

Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness. > Jean de La Bruyère.

We all find time to do what we really want to do. > William Feather.

Does thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. > Benjamin Franklin.

Nothing is worth more than this day. > Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day is the best day of the year. > Ralph Waldo Emerson.

No man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when tomorrow’s burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourself so. If you find yourself so loaded, at least remember this: it is your doing, not God’s. He begs you to leave the future to him, and mind the present. > George Macdonald.

It is said that sheep may get lost simply by nibbling away at the grass and never looking up. That can be true for any of us. We can focus so much on what is immediately before us that we fail to see life in larger perspective. > Donald Bitsberger.
