Faith Words: Time Flies
Time flies. When I was a kid, the school year seemed to drag by and summer days flew. (I now understand that teachers feel the same way.) But what has surprised me most as an adult is how fast all the days go by.
Each day is unique and will not be repeated. Sometimes it frightens me when I think about how many days are behind me and how I wasted so many of them. I wonder, too, how many days I have left.
How can I make the most of the time the Lord has given me? It seems foolish to focus too much on the brevity of life. Rather, I want to focus on the quality of living.
There's an old saying: Don't squander time; that's the stuff life is made of. But that's not entirely true. Life is only measured in time, but it's made of so much more. Loving, giving, building, trying, working, laughing, playing, crying. That's the real stuff life is made of.
It's time to live a little.
Counting the days,
Patrice
Psalm 90:12 NIV
Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
