Make time for someone

Isn't that a strange expression we hear all the time?
"George, can you make some time to review this report?"
George walks into the back room at work and prints up some time on the Time Manufacturing Counterfeiting Equipment, right? If only!
We call it making time, but really we are clearing away the clutter in the moment to move an item up our priority list.
Time dissipates, and we never seem to have as much as we want of it. Like greedy trick or treaters, who long to grab a handful of candy out of the proffered bucket, we cry for more. Since too much time on our hands is not a frequent occurrence for most people in this culture, we need to corral time to make it work for us.
And perhaps the most important way of making time work for us is to allow another person to take some time out of our "treat bag."
When I make time to help someone out, the reward is beyond measuring. And some day, when I need someone to make time for me in my "time of need", hopefully someone will return the favor.
