We live at such a fast pace it is difficult to imagine how we are going to get everything accomplished in the amount of time that we have. Each day seems to get busier than the last one. We talk about wanting more time just to relax. Would we relax if we had the time, or just fill the time with more activity?

How do we do it? The motivation is different. We are celebrating God's gift of love. In talking recently with a friend whose mother has been quite ill for several months, he said we really do find the time to do more when the need is there. Of course his motivation is the love for his mother, which enables him to adjust his schedule to meet the needs that she has.

It would be my prayer that we all become aware that what really motivates us the best is the love God has for us, and that, as we are given the opportunity to share it with others, we find that there IS time.
