How to Think About Time

Time is short

We must rush, rush, rush, to get everything done you need to get done. You have limited resources, so you better get busy.

Time is a gift

Every day you wake is a day you did not have before. Relish in the day. Use it as a gift.

Time is borrowed

Today might be your last day. Live as if it is.

Time is not a commodity

You cannot spend time, waste time, use time. Don’t think of time at all. If you must, think of daylight and darkness.

Time is of my vocation

Instead of asking how you spend your time, what you are accomplishing or not, consider your vocation and ask yourself, “Is what I am doing my vocation, or something else?” Then you can adjust your actions to match.

Driving around town running errands for your spouse and kids and neighbor is not wasting time or distracting you from what you should be doing. It is vocation-work. It is God-pleasing, so do it with a happy heart.

Time is meaningless

Good luck with that.

Too Much Time on my Hands

We love you, Tommy.
