When you have a minute...

I've heard that phrase so many times. I've used it myself. When you
think about it, it's not much of a request and yet, we often fail to
respond to it. I'll admit it. I've probably even groaned or moaned when
someone asked it of me.

"When you have a minute, will you read this for me?"

"When you have a minute, call your Dad just to check on him."

"When you have a minute, spend some time with the kids. They've been
asking for you."

"When you have a minute, call your doctor for the results of those
tests."

A minute. That's all they are asking for and yet, we think our lives are
so busy and out of control that they might as well ask for a day, a week
or a year of your time. None of it is possible.

Or we think everything else is more important.

How sad.

It only takes a minute to read the following. Perhaps you'll realize how
rushed your life has been and how easy it is to change it.

When you have a minute, why not follow through on one of these:

It only takes a minute to make a difference in the world.
It only takes a minute to calm a fear.
It only takes a minute to make a child feel loved.
It only takes minute to hold a hand and make the pain go away.
It only takes a minute to say, "I'm sorry" and prevent a lifetime of
regret.
It only takes a minute to stoop down to see the world through the eyes
of a child and in doing so change how they see you.
It only takes a minute to dial the phone and say, "I just called to say
"I love you!"
It only takes a minute to stop what you are doing and really listen to
what someone is saying.
It only takes a minute to smile and get one in return.
It only takes a minute to forgive.
It only takes a minute to ask to be forgiven.
It only takes a minute to send an email to all the people in your
address book and say, "I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how
incredible you are. I am blessed to have you in my life."
It only takes a minute to say a prayer.
It only takes a minute to say, "Thank you, God" but a lifetime to list
all the reasons.


When you have a minute, visit my prayer page and read some the
challenges others are facing. It will take about a minute to realized
how blessed your life really is.

I am so guilty of saying "Just a minute" and it's usually a lot longer. This reminded me!
