what would you do if time were currency?

I saw an interesting movie tonight with Erica. In Time is a science fiction film where time is currency. The main character, Will, lives in "the ghetto" where people live day to day. When your clock runs out, you "time out" (or die). I won't ruin the film for you, in case you want to see it, but I'll recommend it, saying that it made me re-evaluate what I do with my time, as well as how I view wealth.

So today, I'm thankful for time. So often, I complain about having none, but in the big scheme of things, I have plenty. And even if I don't, I can't complain because we all are given the same amount of time. Ultimately, it's how we use it that matters. When Will is given a large amount of time, a message is left for him which says, "Don't waste my time." This made both Erica and I think about how God is like the character which gave his time as a gift to Will, and how God doesn't want us to waste His time. So anyway, I am thankful for the time I have been given, for the time I have spent here in the Czech Republic, as well as every other place I've been and will be in my life. I just hope I don't waste it.
