Thirty years ago, I repeatedly stated, “Show me your checkbook, and I will show you your priorities.” Where your money goes was a significant indicator of what each person valued the most.

Now, I tell people, “Show me your calendar, and I will show you your priorities.” Time is a limited commodity, and where you spend it demonstrates what you value most.

I used to say, “How small a $20 bill looks out on the town, and how big it looks on Sunday morning when the offering is being passed.”

Now I say, “How quickly two hours go for kids’ sports, and how long that time looks on Sunday morning.”

Time is our greatest treasure. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
