Life

Third grade….wow I’m old. I’m a third grader!
 
Mr. Iaconelli’s class. He is the coolest 5 th grade teacher there is.
 
I am so glad I am in his class.Please look my way…please
 
 
look my way….notice me…notice me. I want to ask you to the prom….as soon as you know my name….

I made it! I graduated! I’m going to college! Woo hoo!

This is awesome….new campus…new friends…new possibilities!

This guy has to be the worst college professor I have ever had…..stop reading from the text and look at us!

Wait…you want me to read this book and write this paper by when?

This is it….I have met the person I am going to spend the rest of my life with.

That wasn’t the person I am going to spend the rest of my life with.

I can’t believe I got the job! They didn’t even look at my G.P.A.! I’m in…I’m on the career path!

How am I supposed to pay all these bills with this salary? Are they kidding me?

My coworkers are so fun. I have so many new friends at work. This is great!

I just got a promotion! No more Ramen noodles for me!

This is it….I have met the person I am going to spend the rest of my life with.

What a beautiful wedding. It was great to see Aunt Sue. Now for our honeymoon.

Who would have thought it….me, the parent of three kids!

How much do they want for tuition?!!!

Why do they want to move so far away?

A new house. A new job. A new car. A new town to live in. A new expense. A new health problem. A new vacation.

Retirement….I can’t wait.

I miss working…..but I do like my new hobbies and having all this time to do them.

I can’t believe there gone. 49 years of marriage. I have lost my love.

You mean I’m not going to get better from this?

“This is how I want my funeral to be, okay?”

24 lines…….and I’ve described life for some. Seems quick. It seems to me that life is even quicker.

15 As for man, his days are like grass;
    he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
    and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
    and his righteousness to children’s children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
    and remember to do his commandments.
19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,

    and his kingdom rules over all.

Psalm 135: 15-19

“The steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting”

“The Lord establishes his throne in the heavens”

The things of God are eternal. We are on this earth for but a minute. Shall we not glorify Christ with the days we have?
