in the critical arenas of life, you cannot make up for lost time

As students, we could pull an all-nighter to make up for the studying we should have been doing all week. On vacation you can drive a little faster to make up for that last pitstop. But in the world of relationships, there are no all-nighters. you can't cram for a better relationship wiht your kids or with your friends if you aren't married. Speeding up doesn't make up for lost time with your heavenly Father. The important areas of life require small deposits all along the way. and if you miss those opportunities, they are lost forever.

Relationships are built on small, consistent deposits of time. You can't cram for what's most important. If you want to connect with people, you've got to be available consistently, not randomly. A vacation or weekend getaway is a good way to commemorate or celebrate the past or even changes on the horizon. But neither can compensate for consistent neglect. So, once again, what is the wise thing for you to do.?
