Time: A Stone to Trip on, or a Rock to Build?

This past month has been a whirlwind of life changing news,
but today I came across an inspiration blurb in my devotions that I would like to share...
I don't know who it's by, or where it is from, but all the credit to you... and I hope that you don't mind that i made a few adjustments of my own (:

When we look at a block of time, we see 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8760 hours, 525 600 minutes, 31 536 000 seconds. And all is a gift from God. We have done nothing to deserve it, earn it, or purchase it. Like the air we breath, time comes to us as a part of life.
The gift of time is not ours alone. It is given equally to each person. Rich and poor, educated and ignorant, strong and weak - Every man, woman and child has the same twenty-four hours every day.
You cannot stop time. There is no way to slow it down, turn it off, or adjust it. Time marches on.
You cannot bring back time. Once it is gone, it is gone. Yesterday is lost Forever.
If yesterday is lost, tomorrow is uncertain. We may look ahead at a full year's block of time, but we really have no guarantee that we will experience any of it.
Obviously, time is one of our most precious possessions. We can waste it. We can worry over it. We can spend it on ourselves.
OR, as good steward, we can invest it in the kingdom of God.

As the seconds tick away, will you be tossing time out the window, or will you make the most of every moment for the glory of God?
