The Present

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day.Every evening it deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do ?

Draw out every cent, of course !Each of us has such a bank ; It's name is TIME.

Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as loss whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance ; It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the day's deposits ; the loss is YOURS.

There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow".You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it in the loving remembrance of God for nothing in this materialistic world would accompany us after death.
The clock is running. Make the most of today.

Treasure every moment that you have.
And remember that time waits for no one.

Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery.
Today is a Gift, That's why it's called The Present.
