Time is the most fragile thing we are given on this earth. Time to love. Time to learn. Time to give and be given. Time to fight. Time to forgive. Time to make memories with the ones you love. Time to listen. Time to appreciate.

Sometimes we aren't given enough time. We lose the ones we love too soon. We fail that test because we didn't have enough time to study. We lose a relationship because we don't have enough time to invest. No matter what, we are never granted enough time.

So God, whoever you may be,

Please grant us that extra second, minute, hour, or day to say I love you just one more time. Give us that hour to forgive the ones you love before it's too late. Give us that second to swerve from that dog in the road to save another person's heartache. Give us that extra minute to give life saving advice to a friend in need. Give us that second to decide if what we are about to do is the right choice. Give us the time to figure out who we really are. Give us the hour to give ourselves a mental break. Give us the extra 30 minutes to study for a test that will determine our college career. Give us the 5 minutes to say goodbye for the last time. Give us the time to appreciate everything and everyone we have in our lives because at the end of the day time is something we are not guaranteed.

Whether its a second, minute, or hour, any amount of time is precious. We take time for granted and forget that it is a gift not a privilege. So with every extra second you're given in this life, remember that you were given it for a reason so make the most out of it.
