I know of a man who lived his life as if time was endless. Tomorrow was always in the horizon carrying the promise of possibility so that accountability for today never existed. He was oblivious of what he consumed and treated the earth as if her resources were infinite. Years had passed before clarity was found and with it came an awareness of lost opportunities, the preciousness of time, and the miracle of life. Each day is a gift and if each moment is lived as such, life becomes effortless.
“Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day.” - Billy Graham (b. 1918)
