Hoarding Time

Today the text I was meditating on was about the Holy Poverty of the brothers of St Francis.  How they gave all for each other, not just money or things.  It got me thinking about Time.  Time is the thing I hoard.  It is obviously the thing I hold most dear.  I hate to give it up.

For Lent I give up things like sweets, but if that isn't what I value most and hate the most to give up then that's not what I should give up.  I need to give more of my time, and not just at Lent.  I need to be more generous with my time with my family and friends.  I need to hold it less dear.
