no time like the present

i am haunted by it
staring at me
telling me it's
time to wake
time to cook
time to clean
time to work
time to quit
time to pick up
time to sleep
then get up
and do it all again

i want to step out of the
circle of time
live in and make the most of
every moment
an act
of worship
Kingdom living

Lord God
with You there are no
constraints of time
be the Alpha and Omega
of my day
my week
my existence

I quit wearing a watch this year and it has been the best thing ever. I no longer count the minutes of my day. I instead count my blessings and life is so much sweeter. Now I do have an alarm clock to get me up in the morning for work but that is about the only time I look at it. I do things when they feel right and it is wonderful.

Have a Blessed day,
Greg

Susan Kelly Skitt said...

Beautiful! One day time will be no more :) Until then, may we pray for the Lord to redeem the time in our lives. Amen, my friend!

Martha said...

How beautiful, did you write that? I don't own a clock in my room anymore and time is going by ever so quickly!

I look forward to another poem :)

Blessings!
Martha

Angie said...

Martha, I penned during a particularly busy day.

Amen, Susan & Suz!

Greg, what a freeing thought! At this point, it's not practical to go without a watch or a clock since we have commitments during the day for which we'd be late, but it sure sounds nice.

Correction on previous comment..."penned that poem"

Wanda said...

So much truth~~ There are no constraints of time with the Lord ~~ all time exsists in Him! I love the verse in Psalms that says...Order my steps in your Way, Oh Lord...In YOUR time I will walk.

Love and Hugs
