Meditation on the Future: Part I

On Friday, I came home for the holidays.

On Friday, I finished a full semester of college. It passed in the blink of an eye.

Time may tick by at a constant speed, but I can’t help but feel like it’s accelerating as I get older. Mom tells me it just gets faster from here on out. I had lunch with my grandparents last Sunday and wondered: How long before I open my eyes in the morning to portraits of grandchildren? To 50 years of marriage? To family Christmas at the house my children grew up in?

Grandkids! How long before those youngsters are in college themselves, facing the same struggles and temptations that I now resist?

How long before I start using the word “youngsters”?!
Such are the important questions in life.
 
“For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” (Psalm 110:5)
