| The Commodity of Time How do we Redeem it? |
The day is
here. We return to what I call normal time because Daylight Savings Time is over.
Shortened days will bring darkness earlier in the evening. I am one of those that
would like to leave time alone and stop switching it back and forth each
season. But, hey, no one asked me when this time rule was enforced, so that
means I live with it, right?
We feel that we
lose an hour each spring and gain it back in the fall. But we aren’t really
losing and gaining, just rearranging. The only way we can lose time is by
squandering it.
Time is a
commodity we aren’t conscious of. Minutes tick by while we go about our
business every day. As each second slips past, the hands on the clock have
moved through a day we will never re-live.
Time can’t be
placed in a piggy bank and saved like money. Hours can’t be earned like our
salary. Minutes are not retrievable like lost coins. Time passes and
disappears.
God tells us to
redeem time, so how do we do that?
