Rick Warren: Your most precious gift

“Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can’t make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you’ll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.”

This week we have spent some quality time together driving to California for our nephew’s wedding. Why make the long drive? We wanted to celebrate the special day with loved ones, as it was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Since life is short, let’s make the most of the time given to us and bless others every chance we get by giving them a piece of ourselves.
