How do you spell love?  T.I.M.E   Rick Warren

Scripture

A wise youth makes hay while the sun shines, but what a shame to see a lad who sleeps away his hour of opportunity.  Proverbs 10:5 LB

Ticking away the moments

That make up a dull day

Fritter and waste the hours

In an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground

In your home town

Waiting for someone or something

To show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine

Staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long

And there is time to kill today

And then the one day you find

Ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run

You missed the starting gun

(Solo)

And you run and you run

To catch up with the sun

But it's sinking

Racing around

To come up behind you again

The sun is the same

In a relative way

But you're older

Shorter of breath

And one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter

Never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught

Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation

Is the English way

The time is gone

The song is over

Thought I'd something more to say

Home

Home again

I like to be here

When I can

When I come home

Cold and tired

It's good to warm my bones

Beside the fire

Far away

Across the field

Tolling on the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spell...

Sentence Prayer

Father; thank you for today it is a gift of opportunity.  Help me make the most of today, because we will never get it back.  Jesus; open my eyes to people today who need your love so we can all make it home. Holy Spirit;  in the dull moments of life make me aware of your presence, so I do not fall into the temptation of sleeping away my life.  Amen
