In your life you will spend*
23 years sleeping
20 years working

Find your priorities
Deuteronomy 6:5
“And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.”
I think that implies time as well being that you show love through actions, spend some time with god. James 4:8 “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
Seize the day no more excuses do it
Love you
