"Like the Sands of Time Through an Hourglass..."

It amazes me how time goes faster

the older I get,

even if I do nothing but sit.

*

As a child, the day was like it

would never end!

We never wanted to stop

playing with our friends.

*

Then came the teenage years,

that also brought unwanted tears.

Parents just didn't understand,

We were "grown up" and had our

own plans.

Or at least we thought,

then realized what that

attitude bought!

*

Soon adulthood put us on our own.

Now we could come and go from

our home.

Along with this, brought more

responsibility.

However, the older we got,

brought less agility.

*

Our parents roles now became ours.

"What goes around, comes around,"

the switch of "powers!"

Working, raising kids and a house

hold of pets;

reminded us of a time passed,

de ja vu, I guess!

*

The busyness of life soon brought

about an empty nest.

Now we don't know what to do with

ourselves...travel, I guess.

*

The older years are suppose to be golden.

However, a lavished life has made

us beholden.

*

What has all of this to do with GOD?

While upon this earth, I have

59 years trod.

*

Hindsight is 20/20.

God has been in my life, plenty!

Brought up by parents who were

saved by my LORD.

Brought up by parents who

taught me His WORD.

*

A path I have followed

that was previously made,

from the foundation of the

world, it was particularly laid.

*

I love my GOD, who has shown

more Love to me,

than I could ever understand,

wonder, or believe.

*

This side of time's life may seem near,

But in Eternity with my Holy God,

it won't be counted in years.

*

The joy of my LORD and the

provisions he gives,

Assists my life and how I live.

*

Jesus said, "I Am the Way, the Truth,

and the Life. NO one comes to the

Father, except through Me."

John 14:6

*

I am so glad I belong to HIM.
