This beauty is now on display in my 7 year old son's bedroom. In all of it's red digital glowing wonder, it still works perfectly, or so I thought.
As we were driving home today, my son says out of the blue, "Mom, I need a new clock in my room." I proceeded to ask him the obvious question of why he thought such things, and he simply replied "time goes by too fast on it."
A mix of sadness, joy, and peace came over me as I pondered his little statement. I told him, yes, time does go by too fast, but it isn't your clock, it's just life.
We have one life to make a difference in this world, to leave this place better than when we first arrived. Each day is a gift and so full of opportunities.
Thank you God for these eye openers, especially when I least expect them.
much love,
larajane
