Each year I promise myself that I am not going to be so busy
the next Christmas season. And here I
go, just as busy as the last. So,
Saturday evening, I went into Walmart to pick up a few last-minute items for
our Sunday School Christmas breakfast. I
needed a gallon of milk, so I pulled my usual trick: I looked for the furthest
date on the milk jugs so that the milk would last longer in my
refrigerator. And suddenly it hit
me! The date was 01-01-24 on the milk
jug! Where has the year gone?! It seems like just a few weeks ago it was
Labor Day, and now it’s almost New Year!
It reminded me of my oldest daughter growing up. I saw her go into junior high and then high
school. And as I watched, she went
through all of the stages until she graduated from high school and went off to
college. Then suddenly, I noticed my
second born who was already a junior!
When did that happen?! And how
did that happen?! My how time
flies! David realized the brevity of
time and he said in Psalm 90:12, “So teach us to number our days, that we may
apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Hey, squeeze
each day to get everything out of it that you can, because you will never get
it back! Life is fleeting … use it
wisely!
