YES!!!!!!!!! Five minute Friday is back again! I know I know, it was only a one week break… or was it two? But Miss Kate listed the Five minute Friday at 10 p.m. tonight with the word Time. I happily started my post and then suddenly my hubby was home from work… 1.5 hours later. What a lovely nap I had! I guess God knew better eh? But my post, Tick Tock, stayed nicely in my head so when I woke up properly it was there to write.

Tick Tock
Do you feel it running?
Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Do you hear it running?
Tick Tick Tock
Time marches on
Slowly, surely
Second after second.
Waits for no one
Tick Tick Tock
Take a moment to
consider how
Time is not ours to hold
It’s all held by God.
Tick Tick Tock
Not ours to hold
But every moment planned
As it, hmm, like maybe
today is meant for more.
Tick Tick Tock
Salvation, will it be
Today? Will you see
the beauty in each moment?
Tick Tick Tock
Time is found
within it, wisdom
Choices to make
God chooses our path
Tick Tick Tock
And how knows
as God orders our days
That perhaps, this situation
was meant for us.
Tick Tick Tock
It gives pause
As you look and see
How much control
God exerts with moments.
