Recent world events serve as a valuable reminder — life is precious and time is fleeting.
The sheer busyness of life can be all consuming. You’ve no doubt heard it said — “don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.”
It’s easy to get so busy doing the million things that fill our schedules that we unintentionally neglect to devote enough attention to the most important things in our lives – the relationships with which we’ve been blessed.
Spouses, children, elderly parents and grandparents, siblings, friends – when was the last time you set aside everything and just gave the gift of your time – distraction free – to someone you love?
Gifts, quick visits, and phone calls are great, but nothing is as valuable to those you love as the gift of your undivided attention.
Try it. Pick up the phone today and make a plan – go spend an afternoon with someone you love, doing something they love. Leave your phone in the car. You won’t be sorry.
Today’s Peace of Wisdom can be found in giving someone you love the gift of your time.
The gift of time! Spending time with someone I love doing something they love. Great advice.
