We all have the same amount of time each day. Twenty-four hours can seem like an eternity when you are anxiously awaiting news or hatimeve something important to get done. It can also seem like it’s over in twenty-four minutes, when you are having a lot of fun and truly enjoying what you are doing at the moment.

Time is a gift that is easy to take advantage of at moments. Especially in a season where running from holiday party to bake sale to stores can eat up a lot of time, even if it is fun.

So, what can you do to take advantage of the gift of time? This week, think of 24 things you can do if you had just a few minutes extra a day. It may be hard to do this at first, but perhaps you can use it as a time to count your blessings and learn to wait in the process.

Just give it a try.
