And time is really a gift . It's the gift of God. Our life, our time, is a gift. We can't be born any earlier. We can't really make our lives much longer.
Time is a gift.
Before we talk about anything else, I think we need to talk about receiving the gift. Before we can use any gift, there has to be a point at which we receive it. There has to be a point where the gift is extended, and a point where it is received. Ideally, we should acknowledge the giver, and express some gratitude for the gift. It might be nice to ask the giver what their intention was, what use they originally hoped we would make of it.
