Just days after my last post I had to have surgery again, so here I am two months later still working on my recovery. Sitting is not easy so computer time is rare. And as I have spent the past five months recovering and feeling like time is just passing me by, we have lost 3 very special friends and I am reminded how very precious and fleeting time is!
All three of these special people were much too young to pass, and yet it reminds us that none of us knows the number of days we are allotted here. Thankfully I have no doubt that each of them has left this earthly place to go home to be with their heavenly Father, yet still their loved ones ache with the emptiness that is left when someone you love so dearly, a daughter, sister, mother, wife, husband, father, friend, is suddenly gone.
It makes me want to hold my loved ones closer, tighter, longer. And yet I still struggle with the busyness of the unimportant! What can be so important that it takes me from those I love and cherish and steals my precious time? And so I vow once again to make better choices about how I spend my time! Perhaps today is the day it sinks in? Teach me to number my days oh Lord that I may gain a heart of wisdom. Ps. 90:12
Blessings!
