Thank you for the thoughtful and apt evaluation. In the eyes of our God we have plenty of time: eternity. But as weak, sinful creatures we are slow to recognize and are hopelessly unskilled. To project "hope" on to all this is comfort, if not assurance. Easy to say; difficult to incorporate. When I am (often!) "stuck," reading the comments of others (whom I know only through this imperfect medium) helps me push forward. My morning prayer: "Let's start with something simple to say/Thank you God for another day." Follow this with an Act of Contrition, Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. Let the world scoff. We ALL end up in an ending. Read ALL the chapters of Ecclesiastes. I had all this as a child, lost it for many years, it's been gifted back to me. Maybe I'll do something useful this time?
God is eternal and therefore timeless--so, the more I keep myself attuned to Him, the less I'm worried about this phenomenon called "time." And flipping it around, worrying about time is a signal that I'm slipping out of that attunement.

These things are very helpful indeed
Time expands to meet my needs and priorities 🙏 Love this affirmation. Perfect. Timely 😊

Very good
This is so true! We all have the same amount of time. It is totally what we prioritise that will give us time; meaning “I’m choosing to make time.”
Thank you for these words...
Glad it helps :)
