We did chapel service at Skylark. When we arrived the first question we received was "We've not seen you for a long, long time." Time passes very quickly for some, to others time drags on. Some do not seem to have any sense of time.
I've been thinking - everyone gets the same amount of time each day, no more no less. It is how we view time. One day time will be no more when we are ushered into eternity.
‘But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.’
I pray this prayer today, "Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom" Psalm 90:12 NLB
Live a day at a time. Live as though today is the last day.
"We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
And he whose heart beats quickest lives the longest:
Lives in one hour more than in years do some
Whose fat blood sleeps as it slips along their veins.
Life's but a means unto an end; that end,
Beginning, mean, and end to all things—God.
The dead have all the glory of the world. Philip James Bailey
