And God … divided the light from the darkness.
He called the light “daytime,” and the darkness “nighttime.”
Together they formed the first day. Genesis 1:4-5 Living Bible
Time was God’s first creation.
Walter Lang
“Life holds one great but quite commonplace mystery.
Though shared by each of us and known to all,
seldom rates a second thought.
That mystery, which most of us take for granted
and never think twice about, is time.”
Michael Ende
Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence–
neither speed up nor slow down, add to nor diminish–
it is an imponderably valuable gift.
Maya Angelou
During the day the Lord sends his love to me.
During the night I sing about him.
I say a prayer to the God who gives me life.
Psalm 42:8 New International Reader’s Version
Live, for this is the time of your life.
William Saroyan
You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by;
but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.
James M. Barrie
I depend on God to save me and to honor me.
He is my mighty rock and my place of safety.
Trust in him at all times, you people.
Tell him all your troubles.
God is our place of safety.
Psalm 62:7-8 New International Reader’s Version
In times like these,
it helps to recall that there have always been times like these.
Paul Harvey
Praise God, all you peoples.
Praise him everywhere and let everyone know you love him!
There’s no doubt about it; God holds our lives safely in his hands.
He’s the one who keeps us faithfully following him.
Psalm 66:8-9 The Passion Translation
Think joy, talk joy, practice joy, share joy, saturate your mind with joy,
and you will have the time of your life today and every day all your life. Norman Vincent Peale
“This a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.”
—Maya Angelou
