Love Is Spelled T-I-M-E
Day 245 of 365 • FAMILY
“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.”
— Proverbs 17:6 (ESV)
Proverb Truth
I heard someone say years ago that children spell love differently than adults. Adults often spell love M-O-N-E-Y. Children spell love T-I-M-E.
Most people don’t remember what we bought. They remember whether we were there. Whether we listened. Whether we laughed. Whether we showed up.
Presence has a way of communicating love more powerfully than words ever can.
Jesus in Action
Jesus was never too busy for people. He noticed them. He listened. He stopped. He was present.
Forged Wisdom
Seneca wrote: “True happiness is to enjoy the present.” And nowhere is that more important than with the people we love.
The No Limits Challenge
Give someone in your family your undivided attention today.
Prayer
Father, help me love the people closest to me through presence and attention. Teach me to treasure moments. Amen.
