Thought for the Day 8/23/2024
Friday Tale - The Time is NOW
Barely the day
started and it's already six in the evening.
Barely
arrived on Monday and it's already Friday.
· ..
and the month is already over.
· ..
and the year is almost over.
· ..
and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.
· ..
and we realize that we lost our parents, loved ones and friends.
· ..
and we realize it's too late to go back.
So..
Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time.
· Let's
keep looking for activities that we like.
· Let's
put some color in our grey.
· Let's
smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And
despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have
left.
Let's
try to eliminate the afters.
· I'm
doing it after.
· I'll
say after.
· I'll
think about it after.
· We
leave everything for later like ′′after′′ is ours.
Because
what we don't understand is that:
· Afterwards,
the coffee gets cold.
· Afterwards,
priorities change.
· Afterwards,
the charm is broken.
· Afterwards,
health passes.
· Afterwards,
the kids grow up.
· Afterwards
parents get old.
· Afterwards,
promises are forgotten.
· Afterwards,
the day becomes the night.
· Afterwards,
life ends.
And
then it's often too late.
So.. Let's leave nothing for later.
Because
still waiting to see later, we can lose the best moments, the best experiences,
best friends, the best family.
The
day is today. The moment is now.
~ Jim Gentil
Besides this you know
what hour it is,
how it is
full time now for you to wake from sleep.
For salvation
is nearer to us now than when we first believed;
the night is
far gone, the day is at hand.
Let us then
cast off the works of darkness
and put on the
armor of light.
~
Romans 13:12-13
