Take the Time

It takes 20 minutes to feel full after a meal. My mom is always telling me this even now as a teenager. But she always seems to be right because I'm never hungry after those 20 mins. I'm grateful for time. Time makes the days go by. Time makes relationships better. Time means a tastier meal. Everyone rushes through their days as if it's the last day they will be living but we all need to remember to be grateful for time because when we take more time, we become more grateful. The little things suddenly have more meaning. I am wonderfully grateful for a night around the table with my family instead of cramming all my homework in. I love sugar cookies because I know my siblings took the time to craft them into something beautiful. I am grateful for the time in the mountains during Thanksgiving because it gives me an opportunity to force my self to be grateful for everything in my life. Time is the best thing in the world! 

We all need to be grateful for time. The time our parents pour into listening to us talk every day, the time it takes to brush our teeth and prevent cavities, the time Jesus spent on the cross for our sins. Remember that time is the only way we grow. So be grateful for every second because no one ever knows when their time will run out.
