“Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the further down the roll, the faster it seems to go!” Do you ever feel that life is moving too fast? Where did the years go? How did I get those wrinkles?
I never felt old until one day, while having coffee with a number of salespeople at a real estate office, the conversation turned to the question, “Where were you when John F. Kennedy was shot?” It turned out that half the people at the table hadn’t even been born yet! That’s when I began to feel old! The Bible says that our lives are like a vapor. We are here one moment and gone the next. Because of this, I’ve decided that my number one goal in life is not to become the richest man in the nursing home. What it all comes down to is that only those things that last beyond this life are really important. So the question remains, “What are you doing that is of eternal significance?” My observation is that it’s relationships that really matter. Our relationship with God and our relationships with friends and family, these things have eternal value. What we invest in the lives of our children and our community can out-live us. What we do in discovering and knowing God will definitely out-live us. So enjoy today. Squeeze all the life out of it you can. It will never be repeated. And, while you’re at it, do something that will make a difference beyond your earthly life. God bless you and have an awesome day! |
