Wasting Time

24. That's the number of hours every man in this planet has in a day. Yet, some are still complaining that they don't have enough time. Although this is true, some are just using time as an excuse to get away from some services or obligations.

I remember a few years ago, we have a regular prayer meeting every Wednesday at 8 pm. One time, our parish priest called for a meeting on a Wednesday 8 pm. The same Wednesday, we also have a scheduled service meeting for an event we are preparing for, also at 8pm. In this situation, it would have been easier to beg off the other two meetings, but a little bit of prayer and a lot of faith can go a long way.

We decided to attend the pastoral meeting at our parish, which usually lasts 2 hours. Then, we went straight to our regular prayer meeting which happened to start late due to some traffic in the area. After our short discussion, we went straight to our service meeting for our upcoming event. We arrived just in time for our group to present our report. In the end, God made it possible for us to attend all three engagements.

"Kung gusto, may paraan. Kung ayaw, maraming dahilan" ("If there's a will, there's a way. Otherwise, there are a lot of reasons not to")

 It's like in the quote I just saw "Time is priceless, waste it wisely".
