It's About Time?

Oh this is one of my forgotten blogs. I tried composing this few weeks back when I was really bored with my job. Maybe I was on a bus or train when I wrote this down and just forgot to click on publish.

I need to publish this because I'm about to experience God's promises in the next few days or weeks. I strongly feel His Grace and favour is working in me right now. :)

Anyways, here goes.
------

"I got this message from "In God We Trust" application in Facebook.

"The moment has finally come. You have no choice. You have to take that step now. Now. Not tomorrow, not in an hour, - Now! ...If anyone else is reading this, they would be confused. But not you. You know exactly what we mean. Do it. Now."

Yes, it's so true!
I have been waiting for a miracle on my job and career.
I don't know. When everything seems perfect in your life or career, you cannot help
but explore for more things, right?
Well, that's me.

Right now, my job is not so demanding on my time. I get to work exactly from 8-5,
enjoy on weekends, got a nice and understanding boss whom I know loves me dearly.
It's close to being perfect actually.

BUT...there are moments in life that I am led to ask the Lord, "so this is it?

What shall I do while waiting for your second coming Lord?"

Well, the Lord told me NOT to worry!
Have fun and enjoy whatever comes my way.

And.

Be patient.

Can I borrow $25?

A man came home from work late,
tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'

DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.

SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'That's none of your business.
Why do you ask such a thing?'
the man said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know.

Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour..'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied,
with his head down.

SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious,

'If the only reason you asked that is so you
can borrow some money to buy a silly toy
or some other nonsense, then you march yourself
straight to your room and go to bed.

Think about why you are being so selfish.

I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier
about the little boy's questions.
How dare he ask such questions
only to get some money?
After about an hour or so,
the man had calmed down ,
and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed
to buy with that $25.00 and he really
didn't ask for money very often.

The man went to the door of
the little boy's room and opened the door.

'Are you asleep, son?' He asked.

'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking,
maybe I was too hard on you earlier'
said the man.

'It's been a long day and
I took out my aggravation on you.

Here's the $25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling.

'Oh, thank you daddy!' He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pull ed out
some crumpled up bills.

The man saw that the boy already had money,
started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money,
and then looked up at his father.

'Why do you want more money if you already
have some?' the father grumbled.

Because I didn't have enough,
but now I do,' the little boy replied.
'Daddy, I have $50 now.
Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow.
I would like to have dinner with you.'

The father was crushed.
He put his arms around his little son,
and he begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all
of you working so hard in life.
We should not let time slip through our fingers
without having spent some time
with those who really matter to us,
those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that $50 worth of
your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow,
the company that we are working for
could easily replace us in a matter of hours.
But the family & friends we leave behind
will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
Make time for living while you're still breathing.
