The Speed of Light

When I was younger (20's) people used to tell me that life goes so fast. Now...I'm a believer. We have been attending graduation ceremonies and open houses over the past few weeks. Always before, I thoroughly enjoyed these events, choking up as I watch teens take a giant step forward in their lives and enjoying open house all you can eat buffets! This year though, I realized, my oldest, (Casey, 16) is only two years away from this giant step. How could it be?!! No one asked me if she could grow up but all of a sudden she's wanting to drive my car! What happened to the days of pulling her in the red wagon, holding her hand as she learned to walk and watching her sing in the children's choir? Where did those days go! I'm praying Ps 90:12 more often, "Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are; help us to spend them as we should." TLB As life continues at the speed of light, as my family continues to grow up (without my permission), I sure want to spend those days well. Appreciating each person in my life, my parents, my wife, my children, friends along the way and strangers too. I want to spend my life on eternal things...God's Word and the souls of people. I want to look back and thank the Lord for a life well lived. Blessings!
