Time?

The saying 'that really does fly when you're having fun!' can be so true. But why then does it still fly when you are not having fun?

Time is such a precious thing that we take for granted so often. We waste so much of it, never give enough of it to friends or family, work tales to much and we never seem to have enough of it!

For a friend of mine that is all he has left and it has made me think, what do I do with my time? Do I really use it wisely? As he has to face the fact that time is slipping away, I ask myself 'what would I do?'.

Why does it take such drastic things for me or others to start to take account for how we use our time. Why do not start living instead of just working or pursing things that will not bring us happiness?

As it comes to Easter and I start to think about Jesus' last days on earth, what must he have been thinking? I think of my friend and I ask myself how can i support him?
