Time

Time is indeed an interesting concept. As a child, I never gave it much thought; I was much too busy having fun. I wanted so desperately to get older, to become a young woman. Suddenly, there I was! Then, I was busy marrying my handsome husband, and having wonderful sons.
I still gave no thought to time. I raised my sons, worked hard, and time continued to go by. Suddenly, I am a half century old, and I realize that I have less time left in this world, in this time, than what I have already lived.
As we go through our life, the only one we have been afforded, our God, The Ancient of Days, remains unchanged. We change, we grow old, but we are trapped in time. Our Blessed Lord is not! I realize that this prison of time that we live in is no problem for our God. One day, we will no longer be “timed”. We will live on in an eternity that has no limitations. Our wise God has mercifully allowed our time in this world to be short compared to an eternity with Him.
Romans 8:18 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” If life is difficult or time seems too short, remember this glorious promise!
