Crazy curves

Life has an interesting way of teaching us lessons. Sometimes it is through an experience; sometimes it is through someone else; and if we are in tune, our Heavenly Father has many things to teach us.

Life changes so fast, sometimes faster than we can comprehend. One day we are with those people who make a difference in our lives and then next they are gone. Do we really value the time we spend with those around us?

Life is too short for petty arguments and to not treat those around us with kindness. In church yesterday a sister shared some interesting numbers. We know through modern revelation that 1,000 years is 1 day in God's time. That means we live 41.666 years to God's 1 hour; .694 years to God's 1 minute; .012 years to God's 1 second.

In the eternal scheme of things, our time here is so short. Are you taking advantage of every day?

You think we would be able to behave for an hour or two huh, or maybe even for an afternoon.

Thanks for your kind words and warm friendship.

I think we get so caught up in our busy lives. The routine of getting up everyday to go to work. Trying to make it to work on time. Wondering if we will be able to get off from work on time. Just one bad experience can turn your day into a long one. Someone gives you a bird on the road! Your boss doesn't like something you did. Even at home there's alot to catch up on. It seems like life gets busier, and busier. I guess life can be a great way of teaching us patience! And it's nice to have someone to talk too, when times get tuff. God is always available.

Nice thought! Reading it today meant alot. Thanks!!
