Time in your hands

Walking along the beach one day,
simply enjoying Hervey Bay,
I came across a clam on the ground –
its message to me was so profound…
I saw the hand of God, I did –
and heard His voice, to me He said:

“In your hand you hold a clam
See its beauty and character you can
It’s covered with barnacles and other life,
Covered with the very texture of time.
It reflects My glory
And tells the story
About the choices you make
And the lives at stake
It’s called TIME IN YOUR HANDS.

Since time began
There I AM
Age to age I stand
With time in My hand
And with the other
I reach for you…

The gift of life
Is made up of time
So choose with wisdom and care
Lean on Me if you dare
Regrets there’ll be none
When your time has gone.

TIME IN YOUR HANDS tells of choosing the high road,
Seeing the feeling and texture of life sowed,
Character-building and patina-growing
And all of this showing
that you are Mine.”
