The Thought of the Week
by Georgie Márquez-André

Time

TIME, , n. A particular portion or part of duration, whether past, present or future. The time was; the time has been; the time is; the time will be.

(Definitions taken from Webster's 1828 Dictionary.)

Genesis 1:14 - "Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;"

A good friend of mine wrote this week. She was reminding me of the time when I asked her not to give up on me.

For years she had been gently nudging me to obey and act upon the Lord's call on my life towards Spain. My heart was willing... but I have to admit... the flesh was most definitely weak!

Then, one day, it all seemed to fall into place, and my feet followed where my heart had gone. Next thing you know, I'd been to Spain, my husband had been to Spain, we had a whole community in Spain... and I was a Spanish citizen!

What's amazing is that my friend was reminding me of that message I had sent her, "about 8 months ago." Well, the reality is, that message was sent close to two years ago!

Do you get the feeling that time is speeding up? I don't know if it is the whole techie thing... where computers and the access they provide to instant messaging and email and all sorts of information at the tip of our fingers (literally). It just seems that we are living what should in reality take a lot longer. Our everyday lives are so full of tasks, contacts, meetings, phone calls... honestly, make a list of all you did this past week. Pretty impressive, isn't it?

The big question, however, needs to be: How much of that "doing" affects my eternal "being"? Am I working to build with gold, silver, and precious stones, or with wood, hay, and straw?

Hmmmm... something to think about... and act upon.

Have a blessed week.
