Maybe It's Time



Maybe It’s Time

We work out our lives by the tyranny of the clock.  Some things just can’t be put off –
Getting to work
Paying bills 
Getting to class
The opening kickoff of a football game
Planes and trains

What about relationships?  When is it time to repair, restore and strengthen those?

Time is up when the casket drops.  That’s dreary – I know that.  Sometimes we need a bit of a shock to get us to act. 

-Need a life change?  There is still time.
-Need education?  Time remains.
-Need a health change?  Small steps are your friend.
-Need a relationship tune-up?  It begins with a phone call, an email or stamped envelope. 
-Maybe you need to make a visit across town, even down the hall to the next bedroom.

Don’t let the clock run out before you make time for the significant stuff in life. 
Those hard conversations don’t usually happen on their own.  Someone has to be the big person and start the talk. 

You've got time as long as the casket isn’t bought. 

You've got time to do a lot of things …
    Do good work.
    Improve your health.
    Rebuild with an estranged one. 
    Say the “I love you” words.


It is time.
