If we knew . . .

 

  If we knew . . . just how much time was left for us . . . how many years or months . . . or weeks . . . we'd cease to fret and fuss about the unimportant things that fill our lives today, making every hour we spend precious before they slipped away forever.

If we knew . . . exactly what the span would be . . . how much more would we value our time and how much more would we live each minute gratefully . . . wasting none of it's treasure and sifting the false from the truth . . . making up for all the time we squandered. 

 Truth is, we all know our time here in this plane of existance is numbered . . .
and that the end will come for some of us sooner than later . . . but somehow I feel that whenever it comes, it will be too soon . . . unless I make each day count that much more.

Remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered . . .
how fleeting my life is.
You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.
My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
at best, each of us is but a breath."
~Psalm 39:4 

 
Knowing exactly when our end will be shouldn't make each day more precious. We should learn to value and appreciate each day for what it is anyways . . . a gift from above . . . learn to savour each and every moment, living each day as if it were our last. Finding joy in every moment of the now and not worrying about a past which has already gone and cannot be changed . . . or a future which may never be.

Savour the now . . . to draw ever closer to the Saviour. Live for each moment, and make every day count as if it were my last, get healthier. Heal. Set up a home of my own. Find peace and happiness. Repair broken relationships. Those are my goals for 2021. What are some of yours?  

 

We had a pretty busy day yesterday. We were out and about by 9 am.  First to the Superstore. We picked up a nice ham for New Years (spiral ham!) I can't wait!  We also got a bargain on a whole Beef Tenderloin, which we will cut up for steaks, etc.  Then we went to WalMart and I picked up some money cards, etc. to send to my older grands, and a Christmas present for my youngest grandson. Then we went to Sobey's and we picked up a turkey for Christmas dinner.  My sister usually gets one from work, but you can never rely on that 100% so we got one just to be sure we had one.  I used to literally have nightmares when my family was younger about things like forgetting to do the Christmas shopping, or buying a turkey, even buying Halloween Candy. Not sure what that says about me.

I made us Turkey burgers for supper. I thought they were really good, but that's me. I think I am the only one in the house who really likes turkey, lol   

Then last evening Cindy, Dan and I played Yatzee. I really enjoyed the game. Its nice to be with people who aren't content to just sit in front of the television all night. I think living with an old person was making me older before my time. So grateful for this sister and BIL for putting some life back into my life and for just loving me.  

 

Remembering this  . . . She loved that snowman on the tree skirt.

It fascinated her, like a play toy she couldn't get loose.

A thought to carry with you . . .
