I am writing this article for the September newsletter in July because I will still be out of the office when it is due. Although September feels so far away, I know it will be here before we blink an eye. Isn’t that how life sneaks up on us? We are preparing for deadlines and meeting demands and then all of a sudden, those dates are here and we are left wondering where the time has gone.
While I am out of the office, I will be experiencing my baby having a baby, buying his own chiropractic office, starting his business, moving a little further away from me and my mind keeps wandering back to the day I brought him home from the hospital, cradled him in my arms, wondering if I would ever eat or sleep again.
Time has a way of marching on without us noticing what we are missing.
Scripture speaks of what we should be doing with the time that marches on in Matthew 24:36-42
But of that day and hour no one knows, no,
not even the angels of the heavens, but my Father only.
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as they were in the days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying,
and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
and they knew not until the flood came and took them all away;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken and the other left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken and the other left.
Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Do not let time find you slack in your knowledge, love, and devotion to God. “Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” Make a point where you are connecting with God every day. Time always marches on but God is constant. Put your faith,
trust, and focus on the one constant of your life, GOD and allow time to march on.
Blessings,
