Have the Time to think about Time....

Reading Ann's book. Still. And I figure that until I totally exhaust it, understand everything in it, or get a handle on living in the 'Gratitude Space', I will plod on. It's not that I am not reading anything else, it's just that her words still prompt a depth of thought, ponderings and an openness of my own spirit that I seem to hear Him more clearly and more often. Now before anyone gets jazzed over 'that' please remember than I am talking about my relationship with Him. Not me trying to tell the Pope that I heard from God and know the Final Answer. (Well, actually that's in His Word but that's another story)
One thing that I think Ann's book inadvertently addresses almost without meaning to is Time. 
I don't mean 'how to manage it' or bucket-listing for however much we have left. I'm talking about the fact that we can't hold more than one thought in our heads at once...and you have to latch onto something to run the muck off. Gratitude does this nicely. And it's very In the Moment-ish because while you may be addressing things that have happened on some other point of the Time-line, you are addressing Him who is not subject to it. He is in fact, referred to as "the Ancient of Days", the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I mean, really. He created it but He doesn't have to come under it's 'ruler-ship'. So to focus our thoughts, indeed, choosing which ones we want to camp on as well crafting Thank You's, can center us and all the fragmenting that Life extracts from us on a moment to moment basis. 
God called Himself to Moses, "I Am"--present tense. Always present tense; not sometimes. Truly omniscient and omnipresent. In any context, any day, any point of any day, any place, any time (or date!), past future and present, He IS. He covers completely the entire Space-Time Continuum and Then Some on either end. 
The implications of a relationship with such a Person for me is Staggering! Not only does this mean He has total and instant Recall (enough to impress anyone!), but He is actually IN that moment or memory. Whereas time constrains us, it has absolutely no control over Him or His thoughts or attitudes. Because He doesn't live under those constraints, He is always completely sympathetic and understanding of anything we ever have to say to Him. He knows every possibility, implication, attitude, side-thought, of every single thing we can possibly Think to bring to Him. 
Maybe this is why He never seems much concerned about being late or being early but being 'right on Time'--because it's not a variable that He Ever considers. He already knows the past present and future and manages to give us a free will anyway! Yes, this is over our heads--I apologize ruefully to all the degreed, important educated more-than-me folks out there but honestly. Who wants a God that they are never surprised by? I don't want a lateral relationship with Him. He's the one who thought that up! (And I'm still working on whatWasHethinking, anyway?) 
So if there is to Him, no time---and "he knows the way we take", so He 'gets' it--indeed, He created it! He was and is everything He always will be and all of Him exists in Him (I'm thinking Colossians here) so Time was kind of like His closet where He could hang everything neatly in order for US to get a clue about Him. Not the other way around.
So the space of time that we choose to 'name' and bring recognition to His presence in our lives is a choice to express love (and that choice) to Him. It takes the little things--or big--on our time-lines and connects them with Him who is not existing only on or in the time-line. We line up with the Forever side of things and our eternal relationship with the Creator of the Universe as well as ourselves and then He came for us.
I've always wondered if He knows everything, etc., why does He ask me to pray ('pray without ceasing')? Obedience comments aside, Why would I talk to God? And busy us. We 'don't have time' to pray or talk to God. When the real question with this kind of love extended to us really should be, why would we talk to anyone else?
