The older I get it seems the faster time travels. The things I thought I would do I no longer am able to do.  But, with God’s strength within, I am able to accomplish what I once thought I was unable to. With His very present help and comfort as time flies I am able to look ahead not with fear or regret but with joyful expectation.

Time Flies By

Time flies by, weeks, months, years.
Every life has times of joy, worry, and fear.
Worldly cares and concerns take up much time it is true;
Places you need to go and things you need to do;
Dishes and laundry needed to be cleaned,
Teachers, doctors, perhaps lawyers that needs to be seen.
For many the Good-Book remains unread; and their spirit remains underfed,
Times of prayer are sporadic, and filled with regret;,
Or they are almost automatic like reading a shopping list.
Sleep frequently is disturbed or cut short in time.
Food is grabbed on the run or even forgotten sometimes.
Busy, too busy, time filled with many things.
It’s rare in a fast-spinning-world to hear a heart that sings.
When the body has lived many years at this steady pace,
Fine lines are by deep grooves replaced.
The eyes become dim and stamina disappears;
Then the world says, the time to retire is near.
But God says, treat the hours of your life with respect,
As you live each moment good things expect.
Bring every concern to the God that cares,
Spend time in the Word and in His strength you are able to share.
You will be able to reach out even in your busiest day,
To help another when you take time to live God’s way..

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
