The child gets closer to the door as she waits and eventually seeing her friends across the road in the park makes a dash and is killed – in ‘just a minute’.

In ‘just a minute’ you can make a life changing decision - you can in ‘just a minute‘ change the direction you are taking - you can in ‘just a minute’ make a difference for someone else.

It appears to be true that the older you get the minutes, days and hours seem to go faster….. when you are a child you have hours to play….the playtime is curtailed when you go to school….when you are an adult - the question is - What is play?

How many minutes have you spent during this lovely time of Lent to think about the journey Jesus made on his way to the cross?

These 40 days are a wonderful opportunity to re-visit the scriptures and be amazed at His grace.

A question in the Shorter Catechism of the Westminster Assembly,1644 is: “What is the chief end of man? Answer – Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever

That takes much less than ‘a minute’ to read – but a lifetime to experience. Make sure you don’t miss out.
