Where Has the Time Gone?

The days are just zipping by. Even my teenage son has noticed. It was just Saturday, and now it's Wednesday. How time does fly!

But why does it seem like this? There are still only twenty-four hours in a day. We're not any busier than a normal school week. Yet we don't seem to be able to accomplish all that we have to do.

And there lies the problem. We have too many things on our to-do list. The days didn't shorten, our activities increased. We've become consumed by our busy-ness.

I don't think we even know how to relax anymore. We are constantly searching for some type of stimulation that even to sit and listen to the birds sing or watch a sunset seems like a waste of good time. But that is exactly what we need to do. We need to put on the brakes of our crazy lives and take time to relax and to refresh ourselves.

Is life passing by too swiftly? Slow it down and rest. If God placed such importance on it, then shouldn't you, too?
