For all those times we've said, "I just need a few extra hours." Or "if I had more time." ... Here it is. Well, was. Extra time. There is one hour and five minutes left (by my clock as I begin writing this) of "extra time."
But, did you use it? Did you really use it? Or, was it just another day. hmm....just another day. A wasted day? A precious day? Or, just another day?
Disneyland was open from 6 a.m. today and won't close until 6 a.m. tomorrow. Wow! 24 hours of Disney fun! That would be a cool way to spend an "extra" day."
I really could have, should have, would have (ha!) used it to finish these crazy TPA tasks that I so desperately NEED to get done. But...didn't. I didn't use one single "extra" minute for it. Shame on me. Or, not.
I put together a stewardship spotlight psoter for church. I read a devotional in the middle of the day. I said some extra prayers. I made some important phone calls. I wrote a stewardship spotlight article for the church newsletter. I took Connor to taekwondo and sat with Miss K to watch him. And, we made a spectacular dinner: curry-coconut pork chops, couscous, and artichokes. I even wrote down the recipe we created. Just another day? I think not.
Time is my worst enemy and my best friend. I do not value it as I should. Do you? So, did you have a Disney sort of day? Or did you spend your "extra" time valuing seemingly regular moments that really were spectacular in and of themselves. Whatever you did, if you look closely, I imagine you'll find that no matter what, it was NOT "just another day."
