There’s an old country song that I used to listen to called, ‘Five More Minutes’ by Scotty McCreery. It’s all about wishing for more time in life’s best moments. Five more minutes of high school football glory. Five more minutes fishing with your family. Things like that. Things that I think we would all say, ‘Yeah, life was great then, and I’d love more time in that space,’ because a lot can happen in the short span of five minutes.
You can work out.
You can take a nap.
You can get a new car.
You can get in a wreck.
You can get rich.
You can become poor.
You can make a friend.
You can lose a friend.
Your life can change.
You can change someone else’s.
It’s a short span of time, but so much can happen in those 300 seconds, so much good or so much bad. But I guess it’s about pursuing goodness in our allotted time here. So much is out of our control when it comes to what happens with our time, and we only get so much of it, but why not try to make the most of each minute if we can, whether it be resting well or giving others around us rest. It just takes five minutes.
