Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is Eternity.
Time
Seen through the eyes of different people as we walk through Our life.
AND an astronomer said, "Master, What of Time?" And he answered:
You would measure time the measureless and the immeasurable.
You would adjust your conduct and even direct the course of your spirit according to hours and seasons.
Of time you would make a stream upon whose bank you would sit and watch its flowing.
Yet the timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness,
and knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
That which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling
within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Who among you does not feel that his power to love is boundless?
And yet who does not feel that very love, though boundless,
encompassed within the centre of his being,
and moving not from love thought to love thought, nor from love deeds to other love deeds?
And is not time even as love is, undivided and spaceless?
But, if in your thought you must measure time into seasons,
let each season encircle all the other seasons,
and let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift from God.
That's why it's called the present.
plans to prosper you and not harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance,
and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day.
What would you do?
Draw out every cent, of course!
Well, everyone has such a bank.
Its name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balance.
It allows no overdraft.
Each day it opens a new account for you.
Each night it burns the records of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's deposits.
Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
The clock is running.
Make the most of today...

Love never promises instant gratification, only ultimate fulfillment.
Love means believing in someone, in something.
It supposes a willingness to struggle, to work, to suffer, and to rejoice.
Satisfaction and ultimate fulfillment are by-products of dedicated love.
They belong only to those who can reach beyond themselves;
to whom giving is more important than receiving.
Love is doing everything you can to help others
build whatever dreams they have.
Love involves much careful and active listening.
It is doing whatever needs to be done,
and saving whatever will promote the other's happiness,
security, and well-being. Sometimes, love hurts.
Love is on a constant journey to what others need.
It must be attentive, caring and open,
both to what others say and to what others cannot say.
Love says no with empathy and great compassion.
Love is firm, but when needed it must be tender.
When others have tried and failed,
love is the hand in yours
in your moments of discouragement and disappointment.
Love is reliable.
Love is a choice and commitment to others' true and lasting happiness.
It is dedicated to growth and fulfillment.
Love is not selfish.
Love forgives, knowing the intentions are good.
Love does not attach conditions... Genuine love is always a free gift.
Love realizes and accepts that there will be disagreements
and disturbing emotions...
There may be times when miles lay between, but love is a commitment.
It believes, and endures all things.
Love encourages freedom of self.
Love shares positive and negative reactions to warm and cold feelings.
Love, intimate love, will never reject others.
It is the first to encourage and the last to condemn.
Love is a commitment to growth, happiness, and fulfillment of one another.
For many to realize these things takes Time...
We make a living by what we get,
but we make a life by what we give.
--Winston Churchill
