(~) Room in the bank
Is your life full and busy? Perhaps, too busy? Sometimes we fill our lives
so full we don't have time for the important things. At such times I
remember a story about a young girl and her bank.
The little girl's father had just given her a silver dollar to put into
her bank. She excitedly ran off to her room to "deposit" the coin.
However, in a few minutes she returned and handed the silver coin back to
her father.
"Daddy," she said sadly, "here's your dollar back. I can't get it into my bank."
"Why not?" her concerned father asked.
"It's too full," she said, obviously disappointed.
Her father accompanied her back to her room and, sure enough, her bank was
too full to accept even one more coin. It was filled with pennies!
Sometimes our lives are like that bank. So full of errands, obligations
and activities that neither nurture us nor help anyone else, that there
simply is no room left for what is truly important -- the silver dollars.
Grenville Kleiser has said, "To live at this time is an inestimable
privilege, and a sacred obligation devolves upon you to make right use of
your opportunities. Today is the day in which to attempt and achieve
something worthwhile."
Have you made room for any large coins in your bank; for those things you
believe to be worthwhile? If not, you may have to remove a few pennies,
but I suspect you will never know they are gone!
