Sharing: Isn't It About Time? - Darris L McNeely - April 1983

"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of." So went one of the maxims in Poor Richard's Almanac, published by Benjamin Franklin. And a wise maxim it is! Do you realize how fragile and temporary this physical existence is? Do you really appreciate life? Are you fully using your time for accomplishment, or are you wasting the days, thinking life will go on forever? There's another old saying that "time waits for no man" - and how true it is! When someone is suddenly gone, we think more seriously about life and death. The death of a famous personality - Princess Grace of Monaco or Arthur Rubinstein, for example - or, especially, the loss of someone very close is a reminder that life is "a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away" (Jas. 4:14). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
