You spend it like nickels and quarters, loose change found in the couch or under the bed. You’re not giving it full value. Minutes count. Seconds. When a child sees time they view its total value. Five minutes to chase a frog. Four minutes to ascend a big hill on a bike. Hours are hard for children. Too much. Too big. Like swallowing a whole apple. See your time more like a child. If you have just fifteen minutes before you leave your house, grab a book and read a few pages. Write a poem. Sing a song. Ask your beloved to dance. Do not waste those fifteen minutes. Think of it as a bank. Fifteen minutes invested or fifteen minutes tossed aside. These special gift minutes are given to you several times a day. Fifteen. Ten. Not enough for most chores so you are tempted to just sit down and wait. Count the cost! You can easily lose an hour in a single day. Times seven. Times 52. It leads to a squandered life. Great treasure is found in little things that appear to have small value. Begin a search for these treasures hidden in your life and a whole new perspective will be yours.
