I was talking to a friend last night that I hadn't seen in a little while and he was telling me that his youngest son has started fourth grade. I would have thought the son might have been in second. Time flies!
I've mentioned before that I have a tendency at times to think about all the future things that need to happen, that I need to get done, and I lose sight of the joys of today. It is a terrible thing to get so wrapped up and distracted by future things that you miss all the goodness and blessings of today. Once today is gone, you cannot get it back!
Today's word is a reminder of this fact. It is Ecclesiastes 11:10, NASB, which reads, "So, remove grief and anger from your heart and put away pain from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting."
Life is short. We only have a few days here on this earth, why waste it being bitter and angry? I have a wonderfully blessed life. I have a life that others dream of having. I have been blessed with so many good things in this life that I need to enjoy today because LIFE IS FLEETING!
It won't be long before our youngest will be in fourth grade, then high school, then college. I know it may seem like a distant future right now but I know it will happen quicker than I can comprehend. Give up the grudge. Don't be angry. Enjoy today!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
