These last few months and the start of this new year has made me think...a lot....about getting older. Several of my friends have either just turned 50 or are going to turn 50 very soon. 50 that just sounds like a lot. I mean I know its not, but it just sounds like a lot.
I think about the 45 years I have had and think.."man 45 years...and I am still_____" I look at my relationships and wonder why they are a little shallow, why my goals are not reached or why they have not grown by now. I wonder why I keep having the same issues to deal with, and why church seems to be the same with it's same issues...45 years is a lot too. It is a lot when it seems that very little has been accomplished.
I know that there are things in my life that have been accomplished and goals that have been reached. I do understand that, however if you really think about the amount of time I have spent and the amount of time that I realistically have left I realize that 45 years is both a lot and a little.
It is a lot that has gone by but a little that is left. I really want to enjoy and use up every minute of every day this year. I hope my friends have 50 more years of joy and excitement in their lives. And I hope that we can all look at each day that God gives us as a true gift, and understand that it is for Him that we are here and that we are to be about His kingdom.
Will you join me...let's live each moment of each day to the Glory of the one who gave us the day.... "For yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory, forever and ever....Amen."
Peace.
