Have you ever noticed how quickly time slips away? Most of us never really stop to think about it, but… Moment by Moment, Hour by Hour, Day by Day… time passes away and we can’t retrieve it. I noticed a picture in the Assisted Living where we minister in song. Just above the piano… there it was. 6 photos of a beautiful woman one at 4 then at 12 then at 20, 40, 60 and 80. I was taken back by this because I could see my own life has simply flown by!
It seems to me that life has seasons.
The Spring of life when we are young and tender and growing…
The Summer of Life when we are still youthful and productive…
The fall of life when we slow down to savor each moment… the leaves are falling from the tree, we have lost loved ones, but we are strong, like an oak tree,not easily moved.
The Winter of Life when the hair is gray and the eyes are dim, but yet the heart is still youthful and thankful. We are well versed in troubles, we have seen many storms, yet survived.
So then, how will we live? My little Granddaughter Emmie told me the secret to Joy.

And so it is… I’ll follow Christ! Because …. 1st John 2:15 – 17 says….”Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof,; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
“Where he leads me I will Follow”… “He leadeth me… O’ Blessed thought”!
