You can spend it, but you can't save it. Whether or not you do anything with it, it will still be gone by the next day. Though you can't save it, you can invest it.
We talk about "saving time" or getting "more hours in your day". The truth is that there are 24 hours in every single day. We get no more. We get no less. What matters is what we do with the time we're given each day.
You never realize how important something is to you until it is gone. Miranda started her tax season schedule and it has been hard on her. She went from working 8-4 Monday through Thursday to working 8-5 Monday through Friday and 8-4 on Saturdays. It wasn't as difficult before we had Maleah. She'd plug along and be fine. However, missing this time with Maleah is killing her.
Soak in the smallest moments: a wife's smile, a husband's touch, a child's beautiful smile, or the quiet times alone with God. Don't take time for granted. Even doing chores around the house gives an opportunity for a memory (see: Confession # 1) . Take the limited amount of time you have with your loved ones and invest it. Invest it in laughter. Invest in special moments. Invest in lifelong memories that time can't take away from you.
