Life is filled with hours of ordinary developing our character and then highlighted with brief minutes of magnificence; and it's in these minutes that character is defined.
Hours of shaping response, of creating habits,
hours of practicing words and actions, thoughts and deeds,
hours of longing and hoping, lusting and pursuing,
hours of worship and reverence, awe and wonder,
hours of waiting, of growing patience, of learning, or living
simply hours of passing time. And all that time, all those hours translate at the moment of brilliance, magnificence, transcendence, when character is revealed.
Often, these moments sneak up unaware.
At times, these moments are displayed in front of an audience.
Other times, these moments are quiet, unassuming, potent and deadly.
Always, these moments impact.
How are you spending your hours?
What do they reveal about who you are?
