If I could put time in a bottle

Time is on my side

Good times bad times you know Ive had my share

Late is late.

30 seconds is late

30 minutes, 5 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds is late.

Better late than never… NOPE Late is Late. So what is early? It is respect, it is character it is integrity.

Time might be the greatest currency to spend in order to show someone just how much you care. Not money, not your talent, not your intelligence but simply hard time.

Matthew 26:36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”

39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

He didn’t ask the disciples to stand and fight. He did not ask them to give him advice or to prepare for life without him at this moment. He simply asked them for prayer… but not just prayer, but an hour of prayer. The disciples are hand fed for 3 1/2 years insight and miracles and the miraculous and more… and in turn Christ asks for one hour… not one month, not one day but one hour. AND at the most crucial time of his life… or should we say just before his death.

Look if you really want to impress someone, your spouse, your kids, your pastor your boss your neighbors… Your parents… it does not matter - if you really want to impress them. Give them time!
