1. DO NOT DESTROY ...
The idea of not wasting applies especially to God's most valuable gift.
The one we have a very limited supply of. All of us. Rich and poor.
... Time.
Think about it. We talk about 'killing time'.
... Killing. That's a pretty strong word.
But actually, it makes a lot of sense.
... When we think about how valuable - and how irreplaceable - each minute is.
2. IMAGINE A VERY UNUSUAL BANK.
Where each morning they credit your account. With $1,440.
It's yours to spend.
With only one condition.
That whatever is left at the end of the day - is erased.
No balance is carried over.
The next morning? They do it again. Another $1440.
With the same condition.
... What would we do with that account?
The answer? We'd probably make sure to use every single penny. Every day.
To make sure that we get the most out of it.
... Well there is a bank like that.
Time.
One thousand four hundred and forty minutes. That's what we get. Every single day.
They're ours to use.
And what we don't use. . . Is lost.
Forever.
