Welcome!

Can you believe we’re almost in August? 

I heard my entire life, and perhaps you did too, that the older you get the quicker time seems to pass.

A recent run-in with one of Brian’s past co-workers who retired several years ago painted the picture of time in a whole new light for us. Brian commented that he still had fifteen years to go before retirement. Without hesitation, the man solemnly looked at Brian and said, “I’d rather be fifteen years younger and working.” 

One, looking forward to not having to work 40+ hours a week, and the other, ready to trade that benefit in an instant to be Brian’s age again. It was obvious the retiree had given much thought to his declaration.

I don’t know about you, but too often I find myself waiting for that next benchmark in life to do, feel, or say something but none of us are promised that next reference point.  

Today is the day to do, feel, and say.

 

 

Heavenly Father,

Your Word tells us to number our days,

for when we do, we grow in wisdom.

Thank You for those who unexpectedly cross our path,

reminding us to take hold of life where we are today—

to enjoy it, and to thank You for it. 

Amen.
