Redeeming the Time...

Well, its 2:17 p.m. and time to get back to work...

You know, at the heart of photography is the desire to capture a moment in time for eternity because once the moment is gone, you can't bring it back.

Indeed, there is one thing sure in this life - Time waits for no one. Thus, in order to get the most out of life, its it essential to make the best use of the time you have. As scripture exhorts us:
"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:15-16)

In other words, don't be "penny wise, but time foolish".

Be mindful of the difficult times we live in and take note of and put stock in what's really important:

Appreciate those who are near and dear to you and let them hear that from you (don't assume that they will understand this by osmosis).

If you have a job, let your company know that you're thankful for your job by working diligently each day (don't give the impression that the company should be thanking you for your presence or you may be in for a surprise).

If you are without a job, then do your part to rejoin the workforce by being diligent in searching for employment (and if necessary, using this time to increase your marketability by expanding your education and knowledge).

And last, but surely not least, slow down from the hectic pace of these trying times and be sure to give thanks to God for the gift of time that he's given you each day.

Are you redeeming the time?
