When I Get Time I Know What I Shall Do | Eastern NC Now
A short lesson about time and the things we should be doing
I have been fortunate that I have lived long enough to do most of the things that I put off while earning a living and running on life's treadmill. Not everyone is that lucky. One of the poems that have always impressed me as a kid was one my mother often read to me. I still have the book of poetry she used as a primer to the more significant side of life. It is full of wit, wisdom, sorrow, inspiration as well as lessons if only I took the time to learn the. It is my go to book when I want to contemplate that deeper side of life. It is somewhat dog-eared and worn but the words are as fresh as they were when she first read them to me. This particular poem is in the public domain now. If you are still on the treadmill, I encourage you to read the poem and then set aside a few moments each day to a few of the things this poem suggest. After, all 'We are not promised tomorrow'. This little Sunday Sermonette has been brought by Bobby Tony and his mom.
