This life is full of different ups and downs, too full of different activities, with noise pollution coming from every left and right. Sometimes, we get so tired of the way life is busy, but we have no choice, because until one is dead, life will still remain the way it is. However,the prompt this week is “If Time Froze for One Hour” Imagine the entire world suddenly froze for exactly one hour, except for you. What would you do during that hour, and how would it affect your life afterward? Here is an opportunity for me to move around, and everything is hereby put on hold.
But imagine if, just for one hour, everything stood still. Life itself paused. People going to work froze on the road, those walking stopped suddenly, traders stood still at their shops, no buying and selling in that hour, hands stretched out to collect money or to hand goods to customers but could not move, the honking of cars ceased without a trace, the voices of school children faded, and the only sound left was the faint echo of silence itself. Everywhere became so quiet that I could hear the sound of a pin drop. And in that moment, with the whole world motionless, I alone could move. Wow, what a grace to do my things peacefully without any distraction🤣
It would not just be surprising, it would feel like a rare gift. In that one hour, I would use the chance to reset some things I had done wrong, correcting what I could within that short time. I would make peace where peace was needed, take time for reflection, and maybe wander into hidden places to satisfy my curiosity in those corners I never notice in the busyness of daily life, or places too crowded to enter. Not just this but also the challenges of life will stop for that moment👌
Most of all, I would simply observe people and soak in the silence of a world without noise, enjoying peace like no other and the rare freedom of quiet moments in a frozen world like it should never stop. However, when time began to flow again, and life would return to its normal, it is good to know how precious every single moving second truly is because God created everything according to its purpose.
