Sunset at Point Mugu
Feeling anxious because you did not accomplish all you wanted to today? Feeling dread at the prospect of tomorrow’s schedule? Looking at the price of gas and groceries and feeling a little pinched?
Each of us is given 24 hours in a day. Everyday is different. Sometimes it can seem like we have no control over our lives and time just keeps on marching on.
Some people see time as the enemy. Women (and men) will not disclose their age so that others will not know how much they have “aged.” Some look to the future and only see dread, while others look longingly towards the past.
I believe that time (paraphrasing an old Star Trek movie) is our companion that travels with us on this journey and reminding us to make the most of this day because we will never pass this way again.
If we believe in God, then we are called to trust that the events of each day have special meaning and purpose, our job, is to find that purpose and take our place in God’s plan for the world.
Peace!
