Is there a "Time for us to wait" about preserving our identity?

My dear readers and especially to my Salako people. Today, at the evening I went to church and I manage to get hold the church magazine called "Unity". Here I would like to share a very good words of reminder to us Salako people. It is written by Revd. Patrick Wong, of the Anglican Church.

Have You Got Time?

Time comes in little boxes. Each box is called a day.
Thrity boxes makes a carton- called a month.
A shipment of twelve cartons makes a year.
On Jan 1, we get new shipment-twelve cartons.
What a lot of time to have! We are rich in time.
But are you sure you recieved a full shipment?

What if your subscription time ran out during the year?
What if you opened a carton and found only empty boxes?
No more time? No more time?

But you may have a full shipment this year.
And you may have more shipments in the near future.
Yet, will you say, "I have no time"?
That is a strange remark.

People who say 'I have no time' always have time.
Those who have no time are dead.

The dead do not mention their lack of time.
Only the living say 'I have no time.'
All have the same amount of time-24 hours a day, or none.
The difference is how we use our time.

When we say we have "no time' for 'something,' we mean that the 'something' is not important enough.
We have to spend our time.
It won't keep in a bank-not even with a time lock on the vault.

When you say you have no time for church or to serve Christ,
You are saying that you would rather spend your time in other ways.

Of course you don't want to sound that way.
You want to say, "I'll give time to God later when I have more time.'

But are you sure you will have more time?

What if your next box is.......EMPTY?

My dear readers and Salako people, I'm not talking about faiths here, although the words of reminder above do so. What I'm trying to say is that, we have to spend time together as a concerns Salako especially about our diminishing identity. We are moving forward fast but lacks to realize that we are moving away from our religare or "rukun" and "adat". The culture that our great grand parents give us is our identity, and yet nowadays we are forgetting about it. As mentions above, time won't wait and how about if our next box of time is Empty? It is important for us as a Salako. which is small in numbers to work together to preserve our culture as our identity. The question is WHO will starts, and WHEN to starts. Our old folks is still here as our living reference while there are still time for us. What if there is no more time, surely it will be late to starts and its hard to do all the research because IT WILL ONLY BE HISTORY. We needs to starts together because we can't walk alone in preserving our culture as our identity.
