"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."
Jameas 4:14
Do you often wonder where time goes? I received a letter from the Social Security Board this week, telling me what I might look forward to at retirement. I am not even quite fifty-nine yet. That made me really stop and look at my life. I quit work two years ago when my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer and my dad was battling lung cancer. Where did those two years go? I can't believe it's been two years. Inside, I am still the same person I was as a child. I love to watch butterflies. I love to surrender to a fit of giggles. Yet when I look in the mirror, there is this old person looking back at me. How wonderful to know that God numbers our days and it is that innocent, loving child inside that He will one day call home.
My prayer for today: Father, I don't know what heaven will be like, but I have a child-like curiosity about it. I look forward to spending eternity without growing old again.
