Don’t Let Time Slip Away

Dear Friend,

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I'll get to it later"?

We’ve all been there.

But as Benjamin Franklin wisely said, “You may delay, but time will not.” 

Time marches forward whether we take action or not.

Each day is a precious gift, and the choices we make in how we spend our time can have a lasting impact on our lives, our families, and our dreams.

It’s easy to push things off—whether it's starting a new habit, completing a task, or making time for what matters most.

But the longer we delay, the more opportunities slip through our fingers.

Time doesn’t wait for us to be "ready."

It moves forward, constantly offering us a chance to take that next step, no matter how small.

What are you delaying today?

Is there something you've been putting off—something you know deep down will move you closer to the life you want to live?

Whether it's prioritizing family time, finishing that project, or making space for prayer and reflection, now is the moment to begin.

A Challenge for You:

1. Pick one thing you've been putting off and take a small step toward it today.

2. Set a simple goal—it doesn’t have to be perfect, but get started.

Remember, it's not about doing everything at once, but about making steady progress. Every action, no matter how small, builds momentum.

Reflection:

As you think about the quote “You may delay, but time will not,” consider this—what would your future self thank you for doing today? Each day we are given is an opportunity to grow, to love, and to be present for the things that truly matter. Let’s not let another moment slip by unnoticed.

Wishing you a week full of purposeful moments,

Melissa
