Time has Wings

Time has wings they say! How true this is! 

 We fly with it whether we like it or not, why? Because it waits for nobody not even the king. Nothing lasts forever even the Bible says man is like grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall. But the word of God lasts forever. Isaiah 40:8. 


The only thing we are sure lasts forever is the love of God. I remember two boys who liked singing when I was in high school. One part of the song said: How will I sleep in the grave without Jesus, when my mother and my father and everybody else leave me? I need to have Jesus. While they were not born again they loved to sing this song. I hope they got to know the Lord. 


Some things are inevitable and must happen. The end of time is near there are signs pointing to this all around us. Time will soon stop flying and so shall everything else. You and I have today to do what we want to do. To spend time with those we love. To tell somebody about Jesus and His saving grace. To do that which we have been postponing for tomorrow, for tomorrow may never come.


While I have been reflecting about all this, our children have been a great reminder of how true this is as I watch them grow. I realize I have them for a limited time. I will not have them with me forever; even now I can not control them or what they do all the time. Abby is only five and a half, she recently went for music festival competitions with her school and spent a night for the first time without us. It was hard to let her go but it would have been unfair for her since she was performing. My baby is growing fast, telling me it's time to let go and let God! Something else is that a lot has changed with time we can not bring up our children the way our parents did. While we obediently obeyed without a lot of questions, our children are questioning, reasoning; arguing and you need to be ready with answers because they will not stop. This is where we go back to the word of God for wisdom and guidance. Because as much as everything has become modernized the word of God has not changed.

Timothy is two years already and quite tall for his age. We had a small birthday celebration with the children at the home. We might make this the norm for now since he loves being at the home and around the children.

That is before he knows he can have a birthday celebration at our house, at school and at the children’s home with big cakes like Abby insists.

The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.  Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.  Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others faithfully administering Gods grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4: 7- 10 

God bless you all,
