Legacy of love
Today I will rejoice, because 'this is the day the LORD has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it.' Psalm 118:24
I'ts been way to long I feel since I have last blogged here. I think of it often, have it prepped in my mind, but the time, the time just keeps slipping away.
My life in measures of time has been something I have been thinking about quit a bit lately,not just thinking, more like consumed almost obsessive.
I had a picture in my mind one morning as I was waking up, a calendar page being ripped off, the number wasn't the day but how many days I had left to live here, a count down, and they were coming off quickly. I looked at how much time is behind me, 37 years and if I live to 100, the space in between leaves me 63 years. That seems long enough but it isn't really, not on the scale of eternity. I have thought so much about this that it has woke me up in the middle of the night,almost in a panick, I have no controll, I can't change this, I can't press the rewind button, I can't add more time.
So I am left with this middle spanse and what to do with it.
I did a google search for Bible verses on time, there were many but this one caught my eye and seared deep into my soul,
Psalm 39:4-5 "Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath
A handbreath, that's all my life comes to, and by definition it is

A linear measurement approximating the width of the palm of
the hand, from 2 1/2 to 4 inches (6.25 to 10
centimeters).
Dosen't seem like much does it.
So I am thankful for each fleeting breath, every moment I have, living as well as I can to leave a legacy of love.
