Not Enough Time

"Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom."  Psalm 90:12 (NLT)

There are too many things to do. 

Too many books to read,

     places to visit, 
          people to witness to,
               Bible passages to absorb,
                    sunsets to enjoy,
                         fresh starts to relish in,

walks to take, conversations to be had,

        hugs to give, hugs to receive,

                 hours to just ponder, blessings to enjoy,                                                                                           opportunities to share,

                                and on and on it goes!

But not enough time to do it all!  

Even if I’d started as a young adult there would not be enough time.  So why is it at my age I let any moment, any hour, any day be spent doing something that isn’t part of the vast array of things that are truly a joy, a learning experience, a way to contribute or an act of giving back to the one who provided it all; living a life of grateful obedience.

I cannot waste one day, one hour or one single moment,
         wishing I had done the right thing,

               shared my testimony,

                      said thank you,

                              revisiting the past,

                                    thinking “if only” or “what if”,                                              

                                           or asking why –

Yes, the list is endless.

Lord, forgive me.  Help me live for you totally and completely, whatever the cost.  Help me see the simplicity of it all.  Help me as I seek your will and allow you to live through me!
