What time is it in your life?

Time is of the essence when it concerns financial obligations, our children's futures, our employment woes or career choices, retirement, investments; basically everything but our health, sanity and spirituality.
As adults we tend to place ourselves on the back burner of life and conveniently forget to turn on the heat. We ensure the main course of responsibility is served to the mortgage company, credit card creditors, utility company, gas company, the mall, finance company...yada yada yay.
What good is it to furnish a house you never get to enjoy? The time when spend paying off a mortgage on a house we forsake our knees laying carpet, hardwood floors, marble tile to showoff to undeserving family members and fickle friends is as common as a cold. Not to mention the unnecessary repairs due to juvenile exploits of ungrateful children and to-tired to care husbands. The American dream has become the devil's most accomplished exploit. We gain what our parents killed themselves trying to provide for us; financial chaos.
The seasons of our lives are so out of sync with God's divine plan. We attempt to reap a harvest during the planting seasons of our un-promised days, and set to plant during dark and unproductive times. The most valuable almanac we can possess in our personal seasons are published by our actions. If we sow greed, we will reap; misfortune. If we plant stolen moments at the expense of others, we will most certainly reap; destruction.
There is hope though, God has many fields of fresh second chances. No purchase necessary, He has already paid the price.
