Time Flies

My mother use to tell me that the older you get the faster time goes. I didn't understand that then but I do now.

John and I are amazed at how fast time goes by. On Saturday night as we lay our heads on our pillows, a comment is usually made by one of us "Tomorrow is Sunday. Didn't we just go to church?" Don't get me wrong; we love Sunday's and the opportunity to be in God's house with His people. But, it seems the days, weeks, months and years roll by so fast.

As I look back on my life I wonder just what I have accomplished. Have I accomplished what God put me on this earth to do? How do you know what it is that God wants you to do? I feel sure I have failed miserably at doing His will.

Do we book every minute of our calendars? We did before we retired. We still, after almost nine years of retirement, find it difficult to not run by the clock.

Time isn't earned.....you can't buy time. Time is a gift. God allotted each of us a certain amount of time. None of us know how much that is. And, frankly, I don't care to know, do you?

Take a few minutes out of your busy day and see how much time you have given to the things that really make a difference in someone's life....things that make a difference when you are gone.

This verse speaks of the time when Christ returns to earth to take His children home. However, I think it could very well apply to our time on this earth.

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven or the Son, but the Father only. Matthew 24:36 (ESV)
