I mean, seriously? When did my little girls grow up, become married and one with child, no less? And when did most of our nieces turn 30? When did my Mom cross the milestone of 80? How could it be that we have moved umpteen times over the years and now, aiming to do it again? I am amazed at how quickly time seems to pass and even more quickly how things change. Things that I thought were ... are not. Things that I hoped for ... haven't panned out. Situations that seemed far off ... are now here. Guess we should never get too comfortable in where we are in this life journey—because things could surely change. I'm so thankful that even though life changes "in the blink of an eye" that He is the Lord God who does not change. (Malachi 3:6)
I love these lyrics from Mercy Me's new song:
In a blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than I've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment I'm given
There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye
In a blink of an eye that is when
I'll be closer to You than I've ever been
Time will fly, but until then
I'll embrace every moment I'm given
There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye
Embrace the day, friends, but don't hold it too tightly ...
It just might change.
In the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye.
I love this. It's so hard to get a grip on balancing the pace of life with the importance of all the individual moments.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much changing, but as evidenced in what you said, this change is good because it brings about variety and revelation.
I think it's best to be in every moment, but take enough time to appreciate them for what they are. Thanks for sharing about this!
