Roohaniyat: 5-15-10: Good Morning South Florida, and welcome to the
world of Roohaniyat.
Roohaniyat-as you know, means spirituality!
A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her
5-year old son waiting for her at the door.
The son said: 'Mom, may I ask you a question?'
The mother said: 'Yeah sure, what is it?' 'Mom, how much do you make
an hour?' asked the son.
'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman
said angrily.
'I just wanna know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
The mother replied: 'Well, if you must know, I make $ 50 an hour.'
'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down. And then he said:
'Mom, may I please borrow $ 25?'
Hearing this, the mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked
how much money I make, is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly
toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your
room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't
work hard everyday for such childish nonsense.'
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little
boy's questions. How dare he ask such question only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down, and started to
think. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with the $
25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often.
So, she went to the little boy's room and opened the door.
'Are you asleep, son?' She asked. 'No Mom, I'm awake,' replied the boy.
'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' she said.
'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the
$ 25 you wanted.'
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mother!' he
exclaimed. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled
up bills.
The woman saw that the boy already had some money, and started to get
angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.
'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.
'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.
'Mother, I have $ 50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'
The mother was crushed. She put her arms around her little son, and
she begged for his forgiveness.
It's just a short reminder to all of us working so hard in life. We
should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some
time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do
remember to share $ 50 worth of your time with someone you love. If
we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily
replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave
behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
Remember: 'Time is now, tomorrow may never be'
God gives us resources and abilities, and He desires that we use them
well. One such gift is TIME. In order to manage our days effectively,
we should continually review them: What activities did we choose? How
long did each one take? What were the results? This discipline will
reveal what is most important to us. In looking closely at our
assessments, we can determine what drives our decisions about how to
use time. Some people merely respond to circumstances for a majority
of their day. They jump from one thing to the next, answering phone
calls, reorganizing shelves, or doing anything that appears in their
world at the moment. But this style of living misses the mark.
Other people spend their time according to desires. They want to
relax, so they get home and watch television for the evening. Or they
love to hunt, so they use their time to research equipment and locate
wildlife in the forest. Desires are not bad, but they should not drive
the bulk of our actions.
If you itemize your activities and their time consumption over the
course of a week, you might be surprised at the dominating events.
Each moment is a gift, so set aside a few minutes each evening to
plan. Then revisit the way you spent the last 24 hours. This will help
you to live purposefully because TIME once gone, will never come back.
Like Henry Van Dyke once said: Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short
for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
