Pixar For The Birds HD

I am showing this video on Sunday in front of my message on community. What lessons do you learn from this great Pixar animated short?

finding the time

What do you find time for every single day? Eating? Sleeping? Facebook? Television?

There are certain things that we have made a part of our routine and we do them religiously. Yet, I often hear people say that I don't have time for my spouse, my kids, my relationship with God, church, small group, my health, etc. Why is it that we find time for some things and not others?

I think the issue is one of value. We find time for what we value! When we value something, we figure out a way to get that into our schedule. We stay up late. We get up early. We leave other things undone. We do what we have to do.

This raises even more important questions: What does the use of our time suggest about the things you value? Of the things we value (demonstrated in the time you give to it), how many of those things are truly valuable? And how can we raise the value of things that are truly valuable so that they become a part of our lives?
