Love + Time = Timely Love??!

"The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor.

But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents.

Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around.

It's overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt." (Author:Leo Buscaglia)

What a challenge it is that lies before us...to make our love felt. I struggle from day to day and am never afraid to admit that often I get caught up in the moment and fail to see the instances I overlook of how to make my love felt. My prayer today is to be strengthened by that Love I do feel in Jesus Christ and to use that love as my energy and my motivation each day.

So often the smallest gift of time is the largest replicate of love. Time shows people you care, time shows people you want to care, time shows you don't understand but you're there, time shows effort and at the same time, time can distance, time doesn't always heal, time can destroy.

So today what a challenge that lies before each and everyone of us. To make proper use of our time and in doing so, to replicate that love so freely given for us!
