Time attention

(Matthew 6:34)

How does one 'make time' for this and that?  Considering that Jesus compressed his entire public ministry into approximately 10% of his life then it is clear that he had a good way of 'managing time' and sticking to the essentials. Many of his stories stem from thoughtful observation of the natural world around him including agriculture and associated activities.

The best way to 'make time' is to decide what is essential and priority. Put these in to the jar of your daily life and they will rest there while the 'sand' is poured in.

Try filling a jar with sand and rocks together and you quickly run out of space. This way, there is time for all that is essential - some sleep and rest, time for laughter and tears, time for a prayer on the bus or in the quiet of early morning, time for a chat over a cup of tea, time for work (nearly forgot) and time to be in the restful hands of God morning, noon and evening.
