It's Time...

Seasons always get me thinking of how quickly time keeps passing....but this phrase: "it's time" has been present with me a lot these days, for most of the year actually. And throughout the last 8 years, if my story was told in full.

Here are some of the interesting moments this week where those words are catching my attention:

• times for my flight to see friends this weekend
• some friends saying 'it's time' to get married
• my schedule for implementing a project that keeps slipping at work, the ever present...'tick tick tick' with getting everything done...
• that it was time to replace my garage door (thankfully the door didn't hit me or my car)
• that it's time to deal with certain family matters

and perhaps the most profound, from today...

I was talking with my mom about my uncle. He's quite ill (bone cancer). We're hoping he sees his birthday (Oct 2) and is well enough for visitors with those who know him well. The funeral arrangements have been made....and even the death certificate is filled out. The only missing piece of information is the final date and the time...and of course the appropriate signatures.

All of that has me thinking and praying again...

Our time here is so fleeting. So, I pray you make the most of each day, and each moment, with each friend and loved one, including Jesus.

And if lately, you haven't made time for your friends, or Jesus...

It's time.
