Time has the ability to pass by when you’re busy. Do you often catch yourself missing out on important things like the kid’s baseball game? Do you dismiss precious family time with the intention of catching the “next go ’round”?

In the hustle in bustle of life, we must remember to take out time for those things that are easily taken for granted. We see it in the movies all the time, the father misses his daughter’s recital or his son’s football game due to those few extra hour’s at the office.

Well this doesn’t just happen in the movies, we all fall victim to what I call the “catch it next time around” mentality. The “catch it next time” mentality is the result to the excuses we make when we continue to put those precious moments off for the next time. But are we so sure there will be a next time?

The scripture says that “No man knows the day nor the hour when the son of man shall appear.” But we should all be ready when he comes.

You never know when your last chance will be to spend with a close friend or family member. But I encourage you today to live in the moment. Enjoy that precious time with your loved ones.

I challenge you to do your best to make time and enjoy all aspects of life. Make strides to love those around you better. Be more appreciative of that which has been given to you. Be in the moment – Remember to live and love better today as you charge forth on your journey of life!
