I think we all know that we do not purchase what is already ours. We purchase what is not ours as it becomes available. Failure to “purchase” the time we receive for God’s purposes and glory means we lose that time for that purpose – forever. Death purchases it instead.
A grasp of the value of time is something worth leaving our grandchildren – both in terms of the limited amount we have, and in terms of the urgency to use it well because they understand what the Lord’s will is. I’d love to hear your comments on how we, as grandparents and parents, can teach this to our children effectively. What kinds of things are you doing to teach the value of time and how to “purchase it” rather than waste it?
