but is their a limit? is it possible to give "too much time" to chesed and torah that fulfilling your responsidsibilities has just become impossible?
The miracle of Time expansion and abudant blessings.
It is amazing how time becomes less by the day. You would have thought that with the new technology we would have more time but looks like we work our brains more indirectly by extra work. No time for God, charity, others yet no more time for ourselves, in retrospect we are running out of our minds trying to schedule as Solomon said running after the wind. But Lori you have touched my heart by the message about God expanding time, this reminds me of Hezekiah who was added 15 years past his appointed death time and Joshua when God stopped the sun on its track, our God lives today the same. I am a living testimony of not only expanded time but that the fear of God brings with it abundant wisdom and true knowledge. Thanks.
Very True
I have found this to be true, also. I thought I was imagining things but here I find confirmation! When I go out of my way to help others, or to spend time with Him, I get more time! And I always wonder, now - "how did that just happen"? It never fails. Thank for this.
Just today!
Wow! Just today I went down to an agency that pairs elderly people with volunteers who give of their time to cheer up the elderly individual. As I was doing it and afterward, I wondered to myself if I was packing my schedule too much. This commitment of an hour a week on top of full time work and college, a regular weekly exercise class and tutoring...I am more than convinced that G-d has expanded my time and will continue to do so when I am 'other people oriented'. Thanks Lori!
ask a busy person
what you say is very accurate. the oft-repeated adage, "if you want something done, ask a busy person" is so true. you have eloquently put another face on this, the face of G-d.
