Daylight Savings Time

Here's the thing:  I woke up this morning fully prepared to dash into gear getting ready for the day.  Then I remembered that it was Daylight Savings Time and settled back under the covers for a few more minutes. Ahhhh, nice.  More time.  No need to rush; what a gift! As I lay there I wondered how it would be to apply this idea to impact  our past, present or future in other aspects of our lives.



If there  was Childhood Savings Time would you...
    - Try out for that illusive team or club?
    - Do better in school?
    - Befriend that kid that always seemed to be sitting alone?

If there was Parenthood Savings Time would you...
    - Even if it had been a long day, read that favorite bedtime story again, and again?
    - Turn off "the game" to actually play a game?
   - Listen to your teen talk without interrupting because you know that the times that they                                  will want to talk, really talk, may grow few and far between?

If there was Sweetheart Savings Time would you...
    - Not complain about the way he helped but appreciate the effort?
   - Tell her what a wonderful mother, friend, companion she is and how grateful you are                                    that  she is in your life?
   - Even though it gets hot and you"really can't sleep that way", take the time to"spoon"                                      just because it's nice?

If there was Gospel Savings Time would you...
   - pray?
   - listen to the Holy Spirit?
   - share your witness with someone?

Wouldn't it be wonderful to turn back time to add a little more fun, a little more kindness, a little more peace, a little more love, and a little more Son Light to our day?
