Spending time with your loved one.

It is the time of year again where most people spend a lot of their time thinking about their loved one and what to give them as a show of their love.

Many consider it to be lucky to have someone they can share their joy and love with. Many are waiting for this very special moment all year long.

I guess most people would agree with me if I say that the number one gift you can give to your loved one is time. No other things are as valuable as time.

Are you still unsured about it? We know from history how many of our grand or grand-grand parents when they passed away, they left something called a will, whether it's a house, a trust fund, a car, etc. But, they also left something called a history. This history is the time that you have spent with together.

The word "I miss you", "I love you" can easily be translated to "I want to spend more time with you"

Time is boundless. It can cross land, water, even wall. It exists simultaneously in different places.

Some people get paid for their time spent at the workplace called wages. Some seems to get paid higher for their time than others.

But, regardless, everyone agrees how time is a valuable thing that one can possess.

Do you remember the concept "opportunity cost", which means as we spend our time doing something, we are not doing something at that moment. In other words, time continues and is not replacable.

So far, we have identified how time is valuable and irreplacable. What about this last description of time - it is eternal.

We know how in our society, we have put certain limitation in time with things such as calendar, clock, our aging bodies. But, in actuality, time is eternal. Maybe it's not eternal in this world we're living in right now, but it would be eternal when we leave our earthly bodies.

It is said that Christ has died so we may have eternal life. It may be hard to understand how that Christ, the son of God had spent His time in this earth, with the poor, unwanted, widows, lepers, sinners, tax collectors, ordinary people like us just because He loved us so much.

I just want to ask a simple question, how much time do you spend with your loved one? How much time do you give willingly to help others in needs?

...

I have good news for you ... many may have worried about how little of time they have and have been asking how could they give limited time for others? many wished they had more time so they can earn more money, etc. but looking back to the verse above, Christ has died so we may have eternal life.

It seems that God has given us all the time that we need to live according to His will. We no longer need to worry about not having enough time to help others or to work or to spend with our loved one, because we already have all the time that we need in this world to do what He had asked us to do.

"spend your time with your loved one."
