...time, talent and treasure 
There are many different kinds of times. Good times, bad times, happy times, sad times, long times, short times, wonderful times, hard times, life times, and many more. God gives us time as a precious gift to live, to use and spend. Use our gift of time in the span of our life to develop the talents God gave us. Each of us, indeed, has special talents. We can use these talents either for selfish gain or selfless love. Jesus, the best of all our best friends, gives us this time and talent to do what He asks all of us: love God and love His people. Spend the time of our life using these precious gifts to do a lot of good. Help other people who need us and our talents. This means respect the dignity of people and help them enjoy the beauty of life. Be kind and courteous and concerned for the poor and needy as Jesus was. Be honest in living with the law, the law of God, our Church and our Country. Share our material possessions with others. When we do this we give back to God some of what God already owns, because everything we have God gave us. If we use our time, talent and treasure as explained in Jesus' message, as taught by Jesus, we will have a treasure more precious than anything money can buy. A treasure so vast it can bring peace, justice, hope, faith and love to the world. Love it, protect it, share it, use it, relish it and remember it all the days of our lives.
