Some days I can't wait for eternity! How different our lives will be when we aren't controlled by the clock!
Take, for instance, this morning....I was having a wonderful, casual Saturday morning, enjoying family time with my husband, our two daughters, and three of our grandchildren. We were playing, chatting, laughing, etc., just enjoying life and each other. And then, I noticed the clock. It immediately demanded my attention -- I needed to stop everything that I was doing and start getting ready to go to our daughter's baby shower or we'd be late. So, we hurriedly scrambled around and got out the door. The clock forced us to hurry.
What a nice time we had at the shower! One thing, though, that wasn't so nice -- the clock. A couple of the guests had to leave early....the clock was demanding that they leave in time to get to their next appointment. I felt robbed that they had to leave so soon. Then, at the "conclusion" of the shower, one by one, the guests left. And yet, I thought, it's too early....I didn't get to spend as much time with each of the guests as I would like, and I'm certain, my daughter felt like that as well....and then, my daughter left with her husband's family....and I thought, I didn't get to spend as much time as I would like with you, daughter!!! The clock robbed me again!
What will our lives be like in eternity when time is no more....will the rushing around be forever gone? Will we get to spend as much "time" as we want with each other? I certainly hope so.
