"'Heaven' isn't just a place where we feel loved. 'Heaven' is also a place where we are made to feel important." -Anonymous
"In truth, people can generally make time for what they choose to do; it is not really the time but the will that is lacking." -John Lubbock
Time.
By its very nature, it is finite, limited, ephemeral, and never seems to be around in sufficient quantities when we really need it. If the value of a commodity is determined by demand vs. supply, then time is among the most precious treasures known to man.
How important, then is the investment of this ever-dwindling gift of mortality!* What a wonderful affirmation of a person's importance to us, be they spouse, parent, child or friend, when we give unconditionally of our time! Many of us make the mistake of "fitting" our loved ones into our predetermined schedules. Perhaps we would do better to fit our schedules around quality time with our love ones.
What tremendous good it does when we help another feel that they are worthy of our time! What tremendous growth comes when we ensure that we keep ourselves worthy of theirs.
*And in the interest of time, why rehash an already excellent article on the subject? To whit:
