"Time is Our Currency..."

Ever heard that song? Chris Rice sings it...it is so powerful, and so true...in all these years, I have yet to listen to it without crying...

And, here is what I am realizing today...we are not just spending our days...

we are spending theirs... Staggering thought.  

So, what will we do today with the time belonging to our children? Because, we are not the only ones who don't get today back. 

It may be easier to stay home...let them play in the safe confines of the "child proofed" area of our home...certainly simpler than chasing two toddlers all over the park. But...then we would miss moments like this...

and this....

Just in case you haven't heard the song...

Here is the video...
Life Means So Much


Every day is a journal page
Every man holds a quill and inkAnd there's plenty of room for writing inAll we do is believe and thinkSo will you compose a curseOr will today bring the blessingFill the page with rhyming verseOr some random sketching
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much
And time is our currency
So nobody's rich, nobody's poor
We get 24 hours each
So how are you gonna spend
Will you invest, or squander
Try to get ahead
Or help someone who's under?
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much...
Teach us to count the days
Every day is a bank account

Teach us to count the days
