Time

So last night in our camp meeting, Debbie talked about our camp theme. She is so great--in her little intro, she talked about our time versus our Heavenly Father's time. We talked about that one of our days is equal to 1,000 years in His time. She did some math before hand and figured that 1.5 seconds is equal to 1 year. From there she talked about the fact that we waited and watched 7,000 years for the Earth to be created. We also had that time to learn. Then she had us think...how long have we been away from Him? Well, let's say someone lives to the age of 80, we are only gone from Heavenly Father for about 2 hours. Maybe we are only gone for so short a time because He loves us so much and misses us and wants us back with Him. I love that thought. To relate it to girls camp, on HF's time, we have about 8-9 seconds with these girls while we are at girls camp to help teach them and build their testimony. Last night I was talking to Brian about this and we figured that if we have our kids in our home for 20 years--give or take before they are out on their own, we have about 15 minutes with them to teach them. Crazy! It sure puts it more into perspective.
