Redeeming the time

 


The magazine called, USA Today, invited professionals from different fields and asked them to find out how much time a person needs to complete all his daily duties.  They one by one listed out all the activities like sleeping 7 hours, cooking 1 hour, how much time a person should spend with his children, spouse etc.  Accordingly if we add up their suggestions, a person needs 43 hours to complete all the listed daily activities. A day consists of only 24 hours, and it's impossible for a person to complete tasks that require a total of 43 hours.

Effective time management can help you achieve your goals and make the most of your day. Remember that effective time management is a skill that takes time to develop and refine. Experiment with different strategies to find what works best for you and your unique circumstances.

Children of God must learn to spend time in the right way.  Many a time people may steal our precious time.  We must have a detailed planning to use our time.  So we must list out activities according to their priorities and importance for a victorious life. Redeeming the time is nothing but redeeming our life.

Litmus Test

Image
When an aeroplane is flying the pilots will ask questions among themselves which is called Litmus Test.   When a problem comes while flying they must ask if the plane is still flying.   If the answer is yes then it means big danger is not there.   So they don’t have to show so much of interest on that problem. When Apollo 12 was going to the moon, it was struck by the lightning.   Red orange lights started burning.   So the astronauts wanted to do something immediately.   They asked among themselves if it was travelling in the right path.   The answer came in the affirmative for their questions.   After sometime the lights went off one by one and the rocket was moving in the right path. It's true that in various high-pressure situations, whether it's flying an airplane or conducting a space mission like Apollo 12, the concept of the "Litmus Test" or asking critical questions can be crucial. These questions help the pilots or astronauts assess the severity of the p

Children don’t need chocolates

Image
  Few years ago one day evening while walking in Chennai streets, we (my wife & myself) came across a children’s home (orphanage). We thought of going inside. How can we meet strange children with empty hand? So we bought half a kilo of éclairs chocolates from a nearby shop and went inside. While walking in, we heard a gentle voice, “where are you going”? Looking around we saw a lady through a window. We went near and told her that we would like to meet those little children inside. What is in your hands? She asked. Chocolates. The lady told us, we have plenty of food here. Every now and then we receive calls from leading bakeries and chocolate companies to supply us. Normally we say no to such call. Thanks for coming here with a good intention, but our children don’t need chocolates. We were puzzled and blinking. Then came her words, they need your love, physical touch, smile and laughter, your presence. She requested us to spend at least one hour with them. With doubts and not

Pain a Valuable Mechanism

Image
  A girl who acted in the serial, Grey’s Anatomy called herself as a super hero because she never experienced pain in her body.  Though she proclaimed proudly that there was no pain in her body, she was carrying a rare disease called congenital insensitivity to pain.  Those who have that disease will not experience pain.   For a man to live a healthy life he must have the sense of pain.   Otherwise some problem in his body will be unattended for a long time because of lack of pain and which may develop into a serious problem.   In our spiritual life also even if we do a small mistake our heart must be troubled and we must lose the peace of mind.   Then only we will repent and reconcile both with men and God. It is true that the ability to experience pain is crucial for maintaining a healthy life. Pain serves as a protective mechanism that alerts us to potential damage or injury to our bodies. Without the ability to feel pain, individuals with congenital insensitivity to pain may no
