Lightning Speed

No I am not talking about my 100 meter dash time. At almost 30 I think an eighteen wheeler could beat me to the line. But that's neither here nor there.

What I'm really talking about is how fast life moves. My kids are getting so big so fast. The boys are really starting to get latchy with me. Preston is nearly as big as Tyler and Tyler is starting to talk so much. Tyler said golf club this morning for the first time. Come on, that's what I'm talking about. Kids spend too much time trying to master the "important" words like "Mama, Dada, Baba, More". How about really important words like golf club? Now we're in business.

I was sitting here watching Tyler eat breakfast and I thought to myself about how God must feel about the speed of my life. When you think about someone enduring cancer for years think about how quick those "years" seem to God. Then the Lord reminded me of this...

“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away. My life is no longer than the width of my hand. An entire lifetime is just a moment to you; human existence is but a breath.” Psalms 39:4-5 NLT

We aren't given a life, we are given a few moments. Don't miss them. Don't waste them. Don't take them for granted...one day your child is saying golf club and the next he is buying his own. Relish the opportunities God gives you.

I have one right now...Tyler and I are about to watch his favorite movie together...CARS.
