Time is Love

Hey there! So this is definitely not what my planned blog post was for today.  But as I was driving, I heard a song that I really like and it got me thinkin’.  It is a song by Josh Turner, called “Time is Love.”  The lyrics go like this:

I know I gotta put in the hours,
Make the money while the sunlight shines
But anything I gotta get done,
It can get done some other time

Time is love, gotta run,
Love to hang longer,
But I got someone who waits,
Waits for me and right now
She's where I need to be,
Time is love, gotta run

I only get so many minutes,
Don't wanna spend 'em all on the clock
In the time that we spent talkin',
How many kisses have I lost?

Time Is love, gotta run,
Love to hang longer,
But I got someone who waits,
Waits for me and right now
She's where I need to be,
Time is love, gotta run.

Gotta fly
Fly
Before one moment
Gets by...

Time Is love, gotta run,
Love to hang longer,
But I got someone who waits,
Waits for me and right now
She's where I need to be

Time is love, gotta run,
Love to hang longer,
But I got someone who waits,
Waits for me and right now
She's where I need to be,
Time is love, gotta run.

Time is Love, gotta run...

Basically, this song is about the importance of relationships in our lives.  And I am not talking about romantic relationships, although those are certainly part of it.  But really, there are so many relationships we have--- our relationships with God,  our family, our friends, our spouses, our co-workers.  Those relationships are the most important thing.  Yet so often, we find ourselves consumed with work, with school, with material good and power and status.  We can’t have it both ways! We only have so much time each day and the things we choose to spend our time on WILL define who we are.  If we spend our whole lives putting material things first, we will get to the end of our lives and realize that we are empty.  It is our relationships with God and with the people who surround us that will make our lives full of joy and happiness.  We only have so much time--- I’d like to say I spent my time cultivating my relationship with God and those around me.  Time IS love.  Those around us will be able to tell what we love most by how we spend our time.  So, what do you love most??

Joyfully yours, Danielle
