Hi Carl, your focus on time and some of the comments reminded me of a humorous Story which I’m going to Post soon but I thought I would also share it with you now.

A man was walking through a forest pondering life. He walked, pondered, walked, and pondered. He felt very close to nature and even close to God. He felt so close to God that he felt if he spoke God would listen.

So he asked, “God, do you have time, are you listening?” And God replied, “Yes my son, I am here .”The man stopped and pondered some more. He looked towards the sky and said, “God, what is a million years to you?” God replied, “Well my son, a second to me is like a million years to you.” So the man continued to walk and to ponder… walk and ponder…

Then he looked to the sky again and said, “God, what is a million dollars to you?” And God replied…

“My son, my son… a penny to me is like a million dollars to you. It means almost nothing to me. It does not even have a value it is so little.” The man looked down, pondered a bit and then looked up to the sky and said…

“God, can I have a million dollars?”

And God replied, “In a second.”

Blessings – Anne.

  I always knew God had a sense of humor. People make plans and God laughs. Thank for sharing the story.

  True, but sometimes I’d rather have a hunnert pounds of gold than a hunnert pounds of wisdom.

That is so true and wise, if only we have (get the opportunity) of the gift of more time. I like what the reader above wrote, “give time some time” = wise words. 🙂

  In many cases time does not soften unfortunate echoes of the past. Perhaps some pain may evaporate though.
