Wednesday, I celebrated my 82nd birthday.

Reflecting on the past, I realized more than ever that life is just a vapor, here only for a short time.

The Bible says that we will be held accountable for the time we’ve wasted.

I confess that I’m guilty of wasting time, but I do admit that in the last few years, I’ve been more conscious of managing it.

I’ve often heard it said that time is more valuable than money, because time is irreplaceable.

This week, I was reminded of the following which I read in “Wings of Silver,” complied by Jo Petty:

The clock of life is wound but once,

And no man has the power to tell

Just when the hands will stop

At late or early hour.

Now is the only time you own:

Live, Love, toil with a will,

Place no faith in tomorrow;

For the clock may then be still.    

I pray that I will be disciplined to live each day one day at a time with love in my heart and to be grateful for my salvation realizing that I’m a miracle.

The clock of my life will be still one day and I’ll be held responsible for how I ran the race that God placed before me.
