NEARLY GONE

I know.  To you kids this is just the sun

going down on a winter day.  Big deal.

But for myself I see a different symbol.

The Scriptures tell us;

"Seventy years are given to us!

Some even live to eighty.

But even the best years are filled

with pain and trouble;

soon they disappear, and we 

fly away."

(Psalms 90:10 NLT)

Now I have passed seventy years and

I have passed eighty years and am 

much closer to ninety years.  That 

means my days are numbered.  So I

see it more as life it's self.  You know:

Spring has come and gone.

Summer has come and gone.

Fall has come and gone,

and I am in the winter of life.

Soon the sun will go down for me.

So, for you kids I'll just say;

"Don't let the excitement of 

youth cause you to forget

your Creator.  Honor him in your

youth before you grow old and say,

'Life is not pleasant anymore.'"

(Ecclesiastes 12:1 NLT)
