If your clock is running backwards, it's broken. Each tick of a clock heralds anothe second which leads to minutes, hours,days, years and so on. Have you ever had a minute you wish you could relive?

Seconds

 

Tick, tick, the clock is on the move. We awake each morning as the sunrise beckons.

Days are made up of hours.  The hour made of minutes and minutes a group of seconds.

There is little time for us to look back, the next second has already passed by in a flight.

Perhaps we would not be so overwhelmed if we thought in terms of hours or days to give us better insight.

But the truth is we live each second to get through each minute and so on throughout our life.

We will make mistakes and clock will strike, those errors cannot be erased.

As every second or minute passes there are obstacles that must be faced.

Although we cannot change those instantaneous mistakes we make.

We can count on God’s everlasting love which forgives us for Jesus’ sake.

Oh, but we must first admit the mistakes which we are guilty of.

We must search through the seconds and minutes of life and then simply trust in his almighty love.

You see it is not a hopeless thing for God is the Master of all time.

So, be reminded of his glorious love, shown through Jesus Christ each time you hear the clock chime.

I believe making mistakes aids our learning...but only if we're not stubborn to learn from them. Yes, God's love, grace, and willingness to forgive is great when we make mistakes. Thing is, how willing are we to forgive those who made mistakes? A thought provoking and good reminder for all, Lew. Thank you, precious friend!

God Bless

Wow, Lew...this was certainly worth the time, needed to read and reflect on the value of your words!

He gave us the measure of "time" for the sake of Man, but His love is time-less and end-less.......even when Man...."ticks" Him off.

Sound the CHIMES!!! [I could tell you a miracle story about my own door CHIMES!!!]

Blessings, Rhonda
