'Saving' Time

Have you felt that you are losing time?

Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, made a lot of devices of which people call that 'saved time' for people around the world. However, did those creations 'save' time to people? ?For most, these computerized objects steal time. Instead of spending time with the family, every member might be found facing their iPhones, tabs, desktops, and laptops. Once an hour was lost then it can't be retrieved. You may 'save' time by cutting losses of time with speedy jobs but you can never save(as savings in a bank) it and take it out once needed.

We are busy working hard to build our websites and thought of "I'll try to make as much content as I can." Unknowingly, you might neglect your family, most of all, your children. They might be at your side waiting for you to be done with a content for their homework or for a game or just for spending time together.

Your spouse might be asking a date or just for some romantic bickerings on the bed but you shun your partner by saying you're busy and need to finish it soon right away. That would leave your partner to miss you more. You might be near physically but far mentally and emotionally.

Your parents might just be waiting for your call or visit but you kep on saying, "I need to finish this now so I can earn fast."

I heard myself saying this to my daughter one time and I stopped. I realized I was spending less time with them.

Is this common to you? Have you been doing this?

If not, then good for you. Somehow, if you are, give some time to think. Remember, lost time can't be paid by any amount or tries. When the kids have grown up, they have the tendency to spend more time with friends, not with father or mother.

Spouses tend to lose patience and might find another partner to talk to and that could lead to temptation if the person is of another gender.

Old parents time won't last much. There will always be a time to meet their Creator.

The worst thing that could ever happen as well is that you might not be giving time for yourself. That will lead you to get burned up and give up.

Let us remind ourselves that what's lost time will be lost forever. Give yourself a little favor, organize your time schedule. Write a schedule for your work or writing contents and spend some time, an hour or two maybe, to talk or just bond with each one of the family everyday.

A date with your daughter today, then with your son tomorrow, and with your spouse tonight. Spend a weekend dinner with mom and dad. Talk anything under the sun, about school, friends, their work, problems, or just anything unusual or funny. You will end up sharing your hearts and building the relationship more. I spent time singing with my kids and ended talking about struggles and how to overcome them sometimes.

My husband and I talked about some issues and ended laughing with some nonesense things. That's a good nerve reliever.

Give time not save, for time would always run ahead of you.
